Penderyn Distillery

Penderyn Distillery is located in the picturesque village of Penderyn, on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales. Founded in 2000, Penderyn is the first distillery to produce whisky in Wales in over a century, and has quickly established itself as a pioneer in the modern whisky industry.

A unique feature of Penderyn is the use of a specially designed Faraday still, developed by Dr David Faraday, a descendant of the famous scientist Michael Faraday. This unique still makes for a purer distillate and a lighter, fruitier flavour profile. The whiskies are mainly matured in carefully selected ex-bourbon and madeira casks, ensuring a rich and complex flavour.

Penderyn whiskies are known for their smooth, elegant flavour with notes of tropical fruit, vanilla, honey and a hint of spice. The combination of a beautiful location, unique distilling equipment and a commitment to quality makes Penderyn a respected name in the world of whisky.
