The Whiskey Reviewer A World of Whiskey, Poured Every Weekday
By Richard Thomas
The only distillery in Wales, Penderyn, may soon create its own company, as the Swansea Council has granted the first round of approval for a £3.75 million project to turn the old Hafod Morfa Copperworks into a new distillery and visitors center.
The development project is intended to create a tourist attraction drawing up to 50,000 visitors per year. However, it would also be a working distillery, expanding on Penderyn’s production. The scheme would build on a preservation project already underway at the copperworks. The powerhouse and rolling mill buildings would be remodeled into the new distillery visitor center.
