PENDERYN Patagonia Icon of Wales No.11

This is a major first for Welsh distillery Penderyn, which for the first time is bottling a blended malt made by blending its own single malt with those of Argentina's first single malt distillery, La Alazana, located in Patagonia. The whiskies are aged in sherry oloroso, brandy and STR (shaved/toasted/recharred) casks.
Wales shares a common history with Patagonia. On July 28, 1865, 153 Welshmen boarded the Mimosa, bound for Patagonia, to establish a Welsh colony to preserve their culture and language. Expecting to find the green valleys of their homeland, they discover a desert instead. Times were hard, but the miners dug irrigation trenches, and the settlers traded with the Tehuelche people. Today, Patagonia is home to 50,000 Welsh descendants, 5,000 Welsh speakers and hosts an annual "Eisteddfodau", a festival celebrating Welsh literature, music and theater.
