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 Rich Oak Single Malt Whisky is characterized by its maturation in carefully selected ex-bourbon and oak casks. While the bourbon casks lend the whisky sweet vanilla and caramel notes, the oak casks provide spicy and woody aromas.
Its harmonious combination of sweet and spicy elements makes the Penderyn Rich Oak an exceptional pleasure for lovers of high-quality whiskies.
