Following exceptional industry and international reviews, Penderyn Distillery scooped three Gold Awards in recent competitions.
"When the Penderyn Distillery began distributing its single-malt whisky in 2004, expectations were not that high. After all, it was the first time whisky had been distilled for mass distribution in Wales in over a century. Also, the age of the whisky was just four and half years.
But the lesson here is that whisky doesn't have to be old to be good, or even great. Penderyn has not only been racking up the accolades, but it has added expressions that have been largely applauded and recognized as some of the best small-batch whisky in the British Isles, and the world."
A fresh campaign to make St. David's Day a bank holiday is being supported by Welsh Whisky distiller Penderyn.
