WE drove past the only whisky distillery in Wales on holiday. Sitting in the village of Penderyn, on the southern edge of the Brecon Beacons, it only started distilling spirit in September 2000. Later, at our hotel on the Gower peninsula, I had an opportunity to sample Penderyn's single malt. And a very pleasing nip it is. The operation is small. The plant only produces a single cask each day. As its website reminds us: "In a world dominated by the marketing departments of multinational and multibrand companies we take great pride in our authenticity, obsessive passion and attention to detail."
