Welsh Whisky
In 1894, a tragic accident ended a centuries-old tradition: Robert Willis, operator of the Frongoch Distillery in North Wales, was killed under the wheels of a cart - together with pressure from the temperance movement, this sealed the end of Welsh whisky production for more than a century. It wasn't until 2000 that the newly founded Welsh Whisky Company dared a restart, building the Penderyn distillery in the Brecon Beacons National Park; 2004 brought the breakthrough, with the first Welsh whisky sold in over a hundred years. Today, alongside Penderyn, three further distilleries - Dà Mhìle, Aber Falls and Coles - produce Welsh whisky, usually distilled from malted barley and matured for at least three years in American or European oak.

Why did Welsh whisky disappear for so long?
The fatal accident of Frongoch operator Robert Willis in 1894, combined with the growing influence of the temperance movement, together sealed the end of the last Welsh distillery - for over a hundred years, no whisky was made in Wales.
How did Penderyn achieve the revival?
The Welsh Whisky Company, founded in 2000, built the distillery in the Brecon Beacons National Park and brought the first Welsh whisky in over a century to market in 2004 - today Penderyn exports to more than 40 countries.
