Whisky Casks

We have teamed up with Penderyn Distillery to be able to offer you an exclusive range of CGT exempt & VAT free whisky cask options.

Penderyn Distilery

Penderyn Single Malt Welsh Whisky was launched on 1 March 2004, a date which signalled the return of whisky distillation to Wales after an absence of more than 100 years. The distillery was officially opened by HRH, Prince Charles.


The whisky is made at the Penderyn Distillery which is located in ‘waterfall country’ in the southern foothills of the magnificent Brecon Beacons National Park.


The whisky is distilled in a specially-commissioned and unique whisky still, producing an exceptional spirit at 92% abv which is married to fresh spring water drawn from beneath the distillery, and matured in hand–selected first-fill ex-Bourbon casks. This independently-owned distillery employs a dedicated team of craftsmen and professionals who produce whiskies which are distributed in the UK and world-wide.
Penderyn Single Malt Whisky has won many top international whisky awards including Gold Awards at the 2016 World Whisky Competition.
