Penderyn Distillery is the only distillery in Wales and one of the smallest distilleries in the world. One of the few remaining independent distilleries, Penderyn takes its name from the old Welsh village in which it is located and nestles in the foothills of the ancient Brecon Beacons mountain range.
The Brecon Beacons National Park is an area of outstanding natural beauty famed for its breathtaking scenery, open moorland, clear rivers and tumultuous waterfalls.
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”.
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.
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.
