Then it’s time to start your whisky experience. Your guide first takes you through the single Malt Whisky Production Process, explaining each step of producing whisky from malting through to bottling. The depth of the session depends on you. You have the opportunity to sit back and listen or to ask as many questions as you wish – it’s your time with our whisky experts!
At this stage we also cover the various still designs and distillation processes used by Scottish, Irish and Welsh whisky distillers, and you’ll begin to learn that Penderyn single malt whiskies are unique. You will learn about the different types of whisky from single malt through to bourbon and Tennessee whiskies and how Welsh whisky differs from Scotch whisky.
Next for the fun and games, in which you take part. We won’t reveal here what we ask you to do, but you’ll enjoy it!
It’s time to see the still room, where everything should now fall into place. Then a view of the bottling hall where the final product is bottled (we won’t make you wait 5 years for the spirit to mature!). You will see examples of the bourbon and Madeira barrels and your guide is there to answer your questions throughout.
Back in the Boardroom, you now experience how to nose whisky as well as enjoy whisky tasting, using various expressions of Penderyn single malt whisky - see if you can identify them all!
