BRAND STORY

"Distilling in Wales was a lost art..."

Penderyn produces award-winning single malt whiskies and spirits at their distillery on the foothills of the Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales, UK.

Distilling in Wales was a lost art, but in the late 1990s, in a pub in Hirwaun in the Welsh valleys, a group of friends chatted about establishing the first whisky distillery in Wales in over a century. They dreamt of creating a whisky as pure and precious as Welsh gold, represented today by Penderyn’s ‘gold seam’.

The village of Penderyn was chosen because of the site’s own supply of fresh natural spring water. A unique copper single-pot still designed by Dr. David Faraday, a relative of the great 19th-century scientist Michael Faraday, was installed, which produces a spirit at an industry high of 92%. On St David’s Day 2004 Penderyn whisky was launched in the presence of HRH Prince Charles. An expansion in 2013/14 included a replica of the Faraday Still, and two lantern stills being installed.

With investment, inspiration, hard work, attention to detail, the finest barley, expert female distillers, and the best American oak bourbon casks, Penderyn Whisky has quickly gained a worldwide reputation for its range of whiskies, winning over 70 Double Gold/Gold/Masters awards en route. Today Penderyn is now very much part of the world's whisky conversation and is available in over 45 countries.

As a result of the company's progress, a new distillery opened in Llandudno North Wales in May 2021, and a further distillery is planned for Swansea, in South Wales, in 2022.

This Portwood-finish whisky is a firm favorite among our customers in France and is a full-bodied whisky.

Tequila Fortaleza is a small-batch, handcrafted tequila. It is made today with the same production methods that our family used to make tequila, over one hundred and forty years ago! We select each agave for ripeness before it is harvested, and cook them by steam in our small brick oven. We then use a two-ton stone wheel called a tahona to slowly squeeze the juices from the agave. After adding water from the volcanic mountain of Tequila and separating the fibers, we ferment the musto for 3 to 5 days. When fermentation is complete, we achieve our distinctive tequila by distilling twice in two very small, copper-pot stills.

The team at Tequila Fortaleza is humbled and honored to announce that a jury of industry legends has picked our Tequila Fortaleza Winter Blend 2019 as winner of the Best New Spirit 2020 category at the Spirited Awards of Tales Of The Cocktail.

Founded in 2017 by vodka visionary Flo Vinger, Ving Vodka is the World's first and only premium spirit to combine the rich, peppery undertone of kale, the crisp freshness of lemon peel, and the gentle sweet finish of cucumber. I couldnt find a spirit I loved that was in line with my healthy lifestyle, said Vinger. After searching endlessly, I realized what I wanted didnt exist, the drink or the brand. So, I made my own. I perfected VING over four years, it had to be the smoothest, purest, highest quality vodka on the market or, I wouldnt put my name on it. Touting itself as the World's Cleanest Vodka the ingredients in Ving vodka are hand washed and inspection personally by Vinger and her team. Distilled in small batches using hand picked and washed produce, Ving Vodkas undergo multiple filtrations in a copper pot still.

The King of Rock & Roll might also be the inventor of the most decadent snack this side of the Mississippi, the peanut butter banana and bacon grease sandwich! Legend has it that Elvis’ longtime cook, Pauline Nicholson, may have been the first person to serve Elvis this now famous late-night concoction, and we’re sure glad she did. Midnight Snack delivers the hunka hunka burning love for peanut butter, banana and bacon flavor you’ve been dreaming of.

Founded in 1982 by German-born Jrg Rupf, St. George Spirits is one of the oldest craft distilleries in the United States. The distillery, housed in an old World War II airplane hangar on a former naval base on the edge of San Francisco, is home to Lance Winters, mad scientist and St. George's master distiller. Winters, who is widely-known for experimenting with different types of spirits, has a laboratory dominated by a 10-liter test still in addition to the glass beakers and graduated cylinders that cover every inch of his counterspace. Next to the dusty chalkboards caked with equations for the conversion of sugar to alcohol and intricate diagrams of molecular structures are bottles of experimental whiskies, vodkas and even an aging balsamic vinegar (it's 14 years old already). Our objective with St. George Raspberry Brandy, explains Winters, was to take an olfactory snapshot to capture exactly what raspberries smell like at their peak of ripeness. We used the whole fruit in its entirety in a deliberate effort to maximize the most elemental and essential flavors and aromas. Once the raspberries have been harvested, they are distilled through copper pot stills without the use of sugar or any other artificial ingredients. The brandy has an extraordinary texture and flavor profile, with rich waves of soft fruit, raspberries, oak and cinnamon that are complemented by a mineral touch. The brandy was named one of the Top 75 Spirits of 2014 by F. Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal.

California Gin is distilled with our proprietary blend of citrus peel, coriander, cardamom, grains of paradise and a light hint of juniper. Savor its bright citrus notes, floral notes on the mid palate and a finish that is lush, spicy and long.
