Welsh whisky is on the rise. Penderyn, South Wales’ whisky goliath, is leading the charge.
The distillery, based in the Brecon Beacons, has won awards and appraisals including the Spirits Business World Whisky Masters in 2020, claiming five gold awards for its Madeira, Peated, Celt, Myth and Moscatel Small Batch bottlings.
“It’s been a whirlwind few years for all of us here at Penderyn,” says Penderyn Distillery Chief Executive StephenDavies. “Despite the global challenges we’ve all been facing especially this past 12 months, we’re enormously thrilled to still be delighting so many whisky lovers and experts the world over.”
Penderyn’s Portwood bottlings have also really claimed the tastebuds of spirits fans the world over, with the bottling scoring big at the IWSC and the Whiskies of the World competitions in recent times.
During the pandemic, Penderyn pivoted to online sales as well as virtual tastings, meaning fans of the brand can continue to enjoy their bottlings from the safety of home. “It’s important to keep moving forward regardless of global challenges,” Davies says. “We’re extremely fortunate to be in a position where our customers can buy and enjoy our spirits safely at home. Our continued success via international competitions have also really helped us to stay in the forefront of people’s minds.”
Penderyn Whisky is available worldwide.
