On September 22, whisky enthusiasts, proud Welsh locals, and curious sippers alike come together to celebrate National Welsh Whisky Day-a day dedicated to honoring the rich heritage, craftsmanship, and revival of whisky-making in Wales.
A Taste of Wales in Every Drop
Welsh whisky is known for its smooth character, refined flavors, and deep connection to the land. Distilled from the pure waters of the Welsh mountains and crafted with passion, it carries the essence of the country's history and landscape.
