Description
Penderyn is named after the historic village in which it is located in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons. When the distillery came on stream in 2000, it was Wales' first single malt whisky in over 100 years. The first single malt was appropriately launched on St David's Day in 2004 and overseen by HRH the Prince of Wales. Using fresh spring water from the hills and local barley. An expansion in 2013/14 included a replica of the Faraday Still, and two lantern stills being installed. They have since opened two other distilleries. One in Llandudno in 2021 and Swansea in 2023. Combined, this brings the total capacity to 900,000 litres per year. This expression was selected by La Maison du Whisky as part of the Foundations range. It was distilled in April 2004 and aged for 20 years in a single ex-Bourbon cask before being bottled in June 2024. Only 115 bottles were produced.
