DESCRIPTION
Developed for the overseas market by The Welsh Whisky Company, this Single Malt Whisky has been distilled in a unique copper pot still, matured in Bourbon barrels and is finished in rich Madeira wine casks and bottled at 41%vol - this whisky has a fresh and clean taste and is well balanced. The original 700ml bottles were released with limited availability within the UK.

ABOUT THE DISTILLERY
Penderyn Distillery is the only distillery in Wales and one of the smallest distilleries in the World, with it's visitor centre opening in 2008.

It is one of only a few independant distilleries and takes it's name from the old Welsh village in which it is located and nestles in the foothills of the ancient Brecon Beacons mountain range, which is recognised by UNESCO.

The water used in distilling and blending comes from Penderyns' own water source and a single copper still is used for it's malted barley spirit. Initial maturation is in ex-Boubon barrels with re-casking in ex-Madeida or a range of finishes in Oloroso Sherry, Vintage Port and the occassional old Islay Whisky barrel.

Affectionatley known as Welsh Gold ('Aur Cymru'), it is said Penderyn whisky is as rare and prescious as Celtic jewellery worn by old Welsh Princes and Royalty.

Each day, just one cask of malted barley spirit is produced, most of the spirit goes for ageing in Penderyns' Cellars. Penderyn Whisky is distilled, matured and bottled at the distillery.
