Distilling in Wales was a lost art, but in the late 1990s, in a pub in Hirwaun in the Welsh valleys, a group of friends chatted about establishing
the first whisky distillery in Wales in over a century. The village of Penderyn was chosen because of the site’s own supply of fresh natural spring water. A unique copper single-pot still designed by Dr David Faraday was installed which produces a spirit at an industry high of 92%. The style of Penderyn's stills give their a light, floral quality.
