Icons of Wales #13 Bad Wolf

Penderyn ‘Bad Wolf’, number 13 in Penderyn’s Icons of Wales series, is a brand new bottling and celebration of contemporary modern arts in Wales and a collaboration with leading production company Bad Wolf in Cardiff.

Penderyn is delighted to be able to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Bad Wolf with the release of this 10-year-old bottle of single malt Welsh whisky.

The companies have collaborated to produce a premium bottling, and the whisky was personally chosen from the Penderyn warehouse by Bad Wolf Chief Executive Officer Jane Tranter and her team. Long-term Penderyn collaborator Lauren Tutssel designed the bottle presentation, and it is the first time the iconic Bad Wolf is seen howling.

Penderyn Bad Wolf, Icons of Wales #13, is a 10-year-old whisky fully matured in old Tawny Port pipes, which have previously held port wine for around 60 years.

This latest edition joins the Penderyn Icons of Wales #1 – #12 range that has celebrated iconic people’s milestones, or Welsh events, including highly collectable sold-out bottlings ‘Bryn Terfel’, ‘Dylan Thomas’, ‘Rhiannon’, and many more.

Nose: Delicate floral tones drift in first — orange blossom and soft rose petals — followed by the warm, spiced richness of fruitcake. A medley of red and golden raisins, fig jam, and fresh red berries — ripe strawberries and tangy raspberries — add both brightness and depth.

Palate: A luscious blend of stewed dark fruits and lighter orchard notes opens the palate with richness and grace. Sweet and saline dance in harmony, revealing layers of toffee, marzipan, and bittersweet marmalade. There’s a remarkable balance here — depth without heaviness, lifted by gentle oak and subtle spice, a veritable pack of flavours.

Finish: The finish unfolds slowly, long and evolving. Dried apricot and salted caramel linger with a dusting of nutmeg. It begins sweet and generous, tapering to a dry, elegant close, that will leave you howling at the moon.
