Penderyn is a Welsh whisky distillery and brand, producing the first commercially available whisky made in Wales since the 19th century.
It is located in the village of Penderyn, Rhondda Cynon Taf, in the Cynon Valley, from which the distillery 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 stopped in 1894. Penderyn became the first whisky to be manufactured in Wales for over a century when sales started in 2004. The distillery also produces the Dragon range comprising Legend (Madeira finish), Myth (Bourbon finish) and Celt (Peated).
The whisky is distilled in a specially-commissioned unique whisky still producing a flavourful spirit which is married with fresh spring water drawn from directly beneath the distillery. Pure water source is replenished by rain water that flows through the soil and filters through to near-surface rocks within the Brecon Beacons National Park.
