In a pub in Hirwaun in South Wales in the 1990s, a group of friends talked of setting up a Welsh whisky distillery and in 2004, on St David’s Day, the first whisky distillery in Wales for over a century opened in the village of Penderyn, close to a supply of fresh natural spring water and using a unique single-pot whisky still producing a 92% ABV spirit.
Since then, Penderyn have won over 70 Double Gold/Gold/Masters awards and gained a worldwide reputation for their whiskies.
Penderyn use the best American oak bourbon casks and today have a superb range of skilfully distilled whiskies, as well as a range of other spirits that include Brecon Gins,Five Premium Vodkas (distilled five times for maximum purity) and Merlyn Cream Liqueur.
Why not visit their distilleries in the Brecon Beacons or Llandudno for a tour or whisky masterclass.
