Penderyn Whisky
In the late 1990s, in a pub in a small post-industrial Welsh valley town, a group of friends drank and chatted about establishing the first whisky distillery in Wales in over a century.
The historic village of Penderyn on the southern tip of the Brecon Beacons was chosen because of the site’s supply of fresh natural spring water. Penderyn Whisky was launched on St David’s Day 2004 in the presence of HRH Prince Charles.
The still produces spirit at an industry high of 92%, which means Penderyn whiskies are fresh, fruity and flavoursome. This spirit is recognised worldwide as one of the finest single malt whiskies. The majority of the spirit goes into ex-Bourbon casks with the remainder used to craft award-winning gins, vodka, cream liqueur, and rum.
With investment, inspiration, hard work, attention to detail, the finest barley, expert distillers (all female), and the best American oak bourbon casks, Penderyn Whisky has quickly gained a worldwide reputation winning over 50 Gold Medals. Their whiskies are now available in over 40 countries.
