In the late 1990s, a group of friends had the ambitious plan to establish the first whisky distillery in Wales for over a century. Their aim was to create a whisky as pure and precious as Welsh gold. In 2004, on St. David's Day, this dream became a reality when Penderyn Whisky saw the light of day. The distillery owes its uniqueness in part to the copper still with a special still designed by Dr. David Faraday. It is located in the village of Penderyn, at the southern end of the Brecon Beacons. The pure spring water from the region contributes significantly to the quality of the exceptional Penderyn whiskies.
Penderyn HIRAETH is the eighth bottling in the renowned "Icons of Wales" whisky collection and stands for a deep connection with the homeland. The Welsh word "Hiraeth" describes a longing for home, heritage and essence - a feeling that resonates in every bottle of this single malt. The whisky is matured in hand-selected ex-bourbon casks, which gives it its rich variety of aromas and depth.
This limited edition bottling celebrates the cultural heritage of Wales and is aimed at connoisseurs and collectors alike who are looking for a connection to Welsh tradition.
