Portwood Single Malt Welsh Whisky

Penderyn
Like Welsh Gold (Aur Cymru) this golden Penderyn is rare and precious and is hand crafted by our Master Distiller at Penderyn in the heart of Wales

This limited expression of Penderyn Portwood single malt whisky acquires its delightful blush and syrupy character from a process of double maturation in ex-bourbon and rich ex-port casks.

The hillside village of Penderyn, southern gateway to the wild, beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park, gives its name to this unique Welsh single malt whisky, made here at the only distillery in Wales.

One of a very few distilleries in private hands today, Penderyn continues a treasured tradition; in the 18th Century an early welsh distiller was among the founding fathers of bourbon distilling in America.

Each day here we 'charge' our unique copper stills with a specially fermented single variety malted barley wash. The day's distillation yields a single barrel of pure single malt spirit, which is married with spring water from our own source, then matured in selected first quality oak barrels.

Unique distillation and careful maturation create a single malt whisky, in which a sweet, elegant Penderyn house style shines through. Even then, there's more to do. To attain their full depth and complexity of flavour, different hand-crafted expressions of Penderyn are aged or finished in different woods.

Like the fabled Welsh Gold (in Welsh, Aur Cymru) used to make heirloom jewellery proudly worn by kings and princes down the ages, Penderyn single malt is rare and highly prized. To those who love it, it's a new kind of Welsh Gold.
