Description
Penderyn is a Welsh whisky distillery and brand, producing the first commercially available whisky in Wales since the 19th century. Penderyn is widely known for its unique distillation practices as the spirit is only distilled once in a Faraday Copper Still.

Bryn Terfel #5 (41%)
Falstaff was the last opera written by Giuseppe Verdi, from a libretto by Arrigo Boito, and was premiered in 1893 at La Scala in Milan. A light comedy, based on the eponymous character who first appeared in three of Shakespeare's plays, it is believed by many to be Verdi's greatest opera.
The plot revolves around the tubby, egotistical, drunken yet charming knight, Sir John Falstaff, as he attempts to seduce two married women in order to gain access to their husband's wealth.
Bryn Terfel CBE was born in Pant Glas, North Wales, he took the first role of Falstaff at the Sydney Opera House.
