We regularly informed you of our awards, but here is a summary of what Penderyn has achieved since 2016 across our whisky and spirits ranges. As well as the 35 Golds there have been a number of silvers, some very high marks and a Spirits Business Grandmaster award for the distillery in 2017. (Full list below.)
This is testimony to the hard work put in by our team, and we’d also like to acknowledge the support we have had from importers, distributors and retailers, as well as the awards judges as we develop our business and increase growth in over 40 countries around the world.
Penderyn is getting a great reaction wherever we go. The story of the brand is strong, but ultimately, it’s all about the taste of our products. Our whiskies are light, fruity and flavoursome as a result of our unique still, Welsh water and wood management, and it’s always a joy to see people’s faces when they try our whiskies for the first time.

Onwards! (Or ‘Ymlaen’ as they say in Wales!)
