I was very pleasantly surprised by Penderyn (Welsh Whisky) which again was very young when first marketed. Penderyn give no age statement but it was on the shelves three years after the first distillation AFAIK. I'm waiting with bated breath to see if they bring out an older whisky.

As an aside, I thought you can only call it whisky if it has aged 3 years and a day in the barrel? Or is that Scotch Whisky only?
