More than just the standard bottle
With Penderyn you usually see one or two bottles. We have eight: the Celt, the sherry and port finishes, the peated one, the Faraday named after the distillery's own still, and three releases from the Icon of Wales series: numbers 12, 13 and 14.
Welsh whisky is a small category with its own way of distilling. If you are not sure which one to get, give us a quick call. That is what we are here for.

In Wales, after the Frongoch distillery disappeared around 1900, no whisky was distilled for well over a century. Penderyn, founded in 2000 and located in the village of Penderyn in the Brecon Beacons, broke that silence: on 1 March 2004, St David’s Day, the first bottle was presented by the then Prince of Wales.
The house does not distil in the usual way. The Faraday still, designed by Dr David Faraday, combines a pot still with a column. The spirit is drawn off at the seventh plate and leaves the plant at ninety-two percent; one run takes about eleven and a half hours. In 2013 a second unit was added.
There are now three sites: Penderyn itself, since 2021 a distillery in Llandudno and since 2023 the Copperworks in Swansea. The Icon of Wales series is numbered and each time is about a piece of Welsh history; we have numbers 12, 13 and 14.
One run through the Faraday still takes eleven and a half hours and yields spirit at 92 percent.
