I had the pleasure of visiting Penderyn in the beautiful Brecon Beacons on October 10th, 2023. This independent is a hidden gem for whiskey enthusiasts and anyone interested in Welsh history. The provided a fascinating insight into the art of whiskey-making, starting with a warm welcome from our knowledgeable guide. We explored the entire process, from milling and mashing to distillation, even getting a close look at their unique Faraday stills. The educational component was well-structured, offering a glimpse into the history of whiskey-making in Wales and the broader Welsh heritage. Penderyn's dedication to quality is evident, as they produce small quantities of exceptional malted barley spirit that matures into some of the smoothest malt whiskies worldwide. Not only did we learn about their outstanding single malt whiskies, but also about their other products like Merlyn Cream Liqueur, Brecon Five Vodka, Brecon Gin, and Siddiqui Rums. The concluded with a delightful tasting session, allowing us to sample two of their products or take home a miniature bottle. The gift shop had a variety of offerings for souvenirs and gifts. One tip for future visitors: It's wise to pre-book your online to secure your spot. Also, remember that the production floor is not accessible to under 14s or wheelchair users due to safety reasons. Penderyn is a must-visit for whiskey lovers and anyone looking to appreciate the craftsmanship and heritage of Welsh whiskey-making. Went as part of a Welsh speaking group, absolutely fantastic Sian who did the for thr first time in Cymraeg. Extremely clean place and the tasting st the end of the was lovely and although not a whisky drinker I could definitely enjoy the smooth taste of Penderyn over ice. Great place to visit. Take a and learn a little about the way whiaky is made in Wales, plus get to enjoy the taste of this Welsh gold. Loads of variety available from the Gold range and the icons of Wales series. They also offer bottles that are only available from the 3 shops and not in other outlets or online. Booked a which lasted about an hour, Sarah was a super friendly and very informative we sampled a couple of different whiskeys at the end of the you could choose to try the gin or vodka instead. We enjoyed our of Penderyn whilst on holiday nearby. We had a really friendly and welcoming host, Carla, who showed us around and explained everything whilst injecting some fun and humour into it which made the whole experience more enjoyable!

My brother and Dad have loved Penderyn for years, so it was really nice to stop and check it out! We did the and learned so much! The lady who gave the was really kind and a great guide!
