Welcome to Penderyn Distillery
At the dawn of the new millennium, a group of friends from the beautiful country of Wales set out with a simple vision. As the first Welsh distillers in more than a century, we were determined to break with convention and pledge to realise our dream.
We’re located in the perfect spot in the old village of Penderyn, nestled in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons, and there we have created the best little distillery in Wales. And the smoothest wysgi on earth.
The Brecon Beacons National Park is an area of outstanding natural beauty famed for its breathtaking scenery, open moorland, clear rivers and tumultuous waterfalls.
The Distillery
Here we produce just one cask per day of the finest malted barley spirit, which, when matured, is recognised worldwide as one of the finest malt whiskies. The majority of our spirit goes into cask for ageing in our cellars. Minute quantities are diverted to craft our other award-winning products.
All exceptional whiskies bring together the crucial ingredients: the still, the wood and the water. If you take the time to read on about our products and process we are sure you will discover why, like Welsh gold, Penderyn Single Malt Whisky is so rare
Myth and folklore surround us. The Arthurian legend is alive and well, with two peaks of the Brecon Beacons together known as ‘Arthur’s Seat’. Another story, ‘The Shepherd of Myddfai’, tells how a young shepherd won and lost a fairy bride from Lyn y Fan Fach, the fairy lake of the Brecon Beacons.
UNESCO has recognised the region’s importance. The Fforest Fawr National Park, which lies within the Brecon Beacons and surrounds Penderyn, is one of only 53 Geoparks worldwide to exhibit "geological heritage of great significance”.
that it has to be on strict allocation to markets outside Wales. It is one of the rarest, finest and most delicate malt whiskies available.
From the time when our cooper goes into the sustainable American white oak forests to hand select trees from which our barrels are made through to the bottling line at the distillery where dedicated staff hand polish every bottle as they come off the line, our commitment to quality is uncompromising.
