Opened in 2000, Penderyn, of the town of the same name, is the first  Welsh distillery to produce whisky in over a century. The last Welsh  manufacturer of this spirit closed its doors in 1903. The distillery is  equipped with two Faraday stills and two more traditional 2,500-liter  pot stills and work with the Laureate variety of barley which is grown  and malted on England’s east coast. This version distilled in 2009, was  aged in ex-Bourbon casks and reveals very fruity and floral notes, along  with a beautiful herbaceous freshness.  The White Book script takes its name from Rhydderch ab Ieuan Llwyd,  who was part of a dynasty with a lengthy tradition of literary patronage,  and is believed to have been an authority on Welsh law.
