SERPENT'S TEARS First Release

Plundering the coasts of Wales in the 8th century, from their longships, the Vikings could see a forboding protrusion looming up out of the mist resembled a fearsome beast, so they named it ‘horma heva’, meaning great dragon or sea serpent, before turning and fleeing as as fast as their sails could carry them. Having survived volcanic eruptions, dinosaurs and the ice age, the Vikings were right to be afraid of the raging waters around the Great Orme that claimed many lives and which became known in folkore as the “Serpents Tears”. Close to the “Great Orme” in Llandudno, Penderyn’s Lloyd St Distillery has been operating since July 2021. Bottled at 46% abv, Serpents Tears, will be the first single malt released from Llandudno distilled stocks.
