It’s Goldfor Penderyn Distillery – The Home of Welsh Whisky

Penderyn was the first distillery in Wales for over 100 years

when they started distilling in 2000. Indeed, they were pioneers in World Whisky, as only a handful of countries, including of course Scotland, Ireland and the US, had whisky distilleries. Now, pretty much every country on the world produces whisky.

And Penderyn Distillery have just had a remarkable series of results in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Celt from their Dragon range, and Rich Oak from their Gold range, won Double Golds. And Madeira and Portwood (Gold Range) and Myth (Dragon Range) also both won Golds.

“We’d like to congratulate our US importers, ImpexBev for their hard work representing Penderyn in the US,” said Stephen

Davies, Penderyn’s CEO. “They have done a wonderful job, and these awards will only reinforce our sales in the US, as well as the rest of the world.”

Sam Filmus, President of Penderyn’s US importer, Impex Bev commented: “It is a true testament to the quality and care that goes into each bottle they produce. As the US importer it gives us great pleasure to see the numbers of loyal fans of Penderyn here in the US growing and we are confident these welldeserved awards will continue to grow along with them.”

Penderyn opened a new distillery in a handsome former school in Lloyd St, in the centre of Llandudno last May. They have already picked up a Go North Wales 2021 Tourism Award and, on top of this, Trip Advisor has ranked them ‘#1 tour to do in Llandudno’.

Penderyn Distillery is open seven days a week, and you can visit the shop or book yourself onto one of their award-winning tours, which are also available seven days a week. While on the tour you’ll be taken through the exhibition area, the distilling hall, and you’ll finish in their beautiful tasting bar, where you’ll

have the chance to sample a drink or two. And for those who want to indulge a little more, masterclasses are available. Both tours and masterclasses can be booked via their website www.penderyn.wales/Llandudno.

There’s also a large car park at the rear, where Penderyn customers can park their car for the day to explore the wonderful coastal resort of Llandudno. Penderyn Distillery continues to go from strength to strength and now, with their award-winning North Wales distillery, you can see for yourself why Penderyn is the home of Welsh whisky. n
