If you still have a few last minute Christmas gifts to get in before next week, then you might want to check Amazon for a few deals.
For fans of whisky, a good single malt can often be quite pricey. Fortunately, one that has been hailed as “one of the best” on the market right now is enjoying an impressive 34 percent discount ahead of December 25.
While many of us associate the drink with Scotland, Wales’ own Penderyn Portwood Edition Single Malt Whisky has earned significant praise. The Welsh whisky, which made its debut in 2004, is brewed at the Penderyn Distillery, the first in Wales in over 100 years.

Usually retailing at £58 for a 70cl, it is now just £38, saving £20 off the RRP ahead of Christmas. It’s also available for next day delivery, making it an ideal opportunity to nab a gift without the last minute rush.
The award-winning tipple has fast become the firm’s bestselling single malt, with praise for its “powerful” and “full bodied” flavour. Offering a medium peaty finish, it is a suitable choice for those who prefer a subtle flavoured malt, over the traditional smoky flavour.
Its also got a unique distilling process, as the distillery uses a single still, compared to the traditional two or three system used in Scotland and Ireland, to produce whiskies that are said to be “light, fruity and flavoursome.”
Boasting a deep amber colour to reflect the “richness” of its flavour, Penderyn Whisky boasts notes of dried fruits with dark chocolate and cranberries. It then offers a “creamy” palate, before finishing with a lingering soft honey sweetness.
On Amazon alone, the Welsh whisky has earned a stellar 4.7 rating based on hundreds of glowing reviews that have praised its “superbly smooth” flavour that makes it “up there” with some of the best you can buy.
One whisky fan said: “My husband loves a whisky and is quite discerning. I take a sip before I pass him the glass! This is smooth, but powerful. Really tasty. The Penderyn whiskies are lovely (and the masterclass tour is worth booking onto). This is exceptional for the price (currently around £30).”
A second praised: “A disclaimer – I’m Welsh. That said, I do feel that this whisky is up there with the best of them. It is reassuringly straw coloured (no artificial colouring), 46 percent ABV, non-chill filtered, and fruity on the palate. The hint of peat elevates what is already a superbly smooth whisky. I enjoy a Speyside, but this one has a strange allure. Check it out – I am sure you will not be disappointed.”

Another fan said: “Impressive for a new distillery making its way in the market, One of the best whiskey they are making at the moment. Rich and thick with a nice mouth feel. Feel like a king drinking this port cask. Very satisfied after one glass, Bought mine on a trip though wales and the lady at the distillery recommended this bottle. A+++ Great experience drinking this. One glass of thick deliciousness.”
It is worth mentioning that the Portwood edition of the Penderyn Whisky does not have any negative reviews. However, it is also available in a Peated edition, which might be more suitable for those looking for a punchier flavour.
