Altre informazioni:
Penderyn is a brand of Welsh whisky, the first commercial whisky made in Wales since the 19th century. The company produces premium strength (46%) single malt whiskies in several varieties. It is manufactured by the Penderyn Distillery in the village of Penderyn in the Cynon Valley, Rhondda Cynon Taf from which the brand takes its name. The company was launched in 2000 as the Welsh Whisky Company. Whisky had been distilled in Wales for hundreds of years, but the industry died out in 1894. Penderyn became the first whisky to be manufactured in Wales for over a century when sales started in 2004, and it remains the only whisky currently produced in the country. Penderyn Distillery is situated in Brecon Beacons National Park and is considered the smallest distillery in the world. The company obtains its wash from Brains Brewery. Penderyn Single Malt Welsh Whisky was first launched on St David’s Day, 1st March 2004, in the presence of HRH Prince Charles, to huge critical acclaim from both acknowledged whisky experts and "ordinary" consumers. Indeed, The Welsh Whisky Company has already won a number of prestigious international awards for the quality and taste of the whisky and for its distinctive and stylish packaging.
