Located just a short drive from Glyn Tawe Outdoor Centre, the village of Penderyn is home to the world-renowned Penderyn Distillery – the birthplace of Welsh single malt whisky. Nestled on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, this award-winning distillery is celebrated for reviving the proud tradition of whisky distilling in Wales after more than a century.

Penderyn produces a range of premium single malt whiskies using a unique single copper-pot still, which allows for a smooth, elegant spirit with exceptional clarity and character. The distillery is especially known for its rich and complex expressions, often matured in a variety of casks including bourbon, Madeira, and sherry, each contributing to the whisky’s depth and distinctive flavour profile.

Visitors to the distillery can enjoy a guided tour that offers a fascinating insight into the distilling process, from mash to maturation, along with the opportunity to sample a selection of Penderyn’s finest spirits. The visitor centre also features a well-stocked shop and exhibition space, providing a warm welcome to whisky lovers and curious explorers alike.

Penderyn Distillery is not only a highlight for connoisseurs, but also a cultural gem that celebrates Welsh craftsmanship and innovation in a stunning rural setting.
