Our Company

Penderyn Distillery is based in the traditional village of Penderyn, which itself lies within the southern reaches of the scenic Brecon Beacons National Park. The area has spectacular mountain scenery, open moorland and valleys containing fast-flowing streams, rivers and waterfalls. The famous and popular Scwd-yr-Eira waterfall is within walking distance of the distillery.

Prince Charles at Penderyn Visitor Centre launch

The company remains privately owned and managed by a committed, professional and enthusiastic team of individuals. A recent major development at Penderyn was the June 2008 opening, again by HRH Prince Charles, of our new Visitor Centre. This allows curious tourists and whisky enthusiasts alike to come to Penderyn and learn at first hand about distillation in Wales, seeing the production process from beginning to end and sampling the company’s products for themselves.
