A hotly anticipated new attraction has been built in Swansea after three years of work. A substantial part of the former Hafod Morfa Copperworks site has now been transformed and the keys have been handed to "world-class" whisky business, Penderyn Distillery.
The Penderyn Distillery buildings were saved, improved, and newly built on behalf of Swansea Council on the historic site which dates back to 1809. The huge Welsh whisky brand is now installing equipment that will help make the location an operational distillery and destination for visitors.
It will be the third Penderyn Distillery to open in Wales as there are already two sites, one in the south Wales village of Penderyn, and another in the heart of Llandudno, North Wales. They are open seven days a week and offer distillery tours and masterclasses, and plans are in place to open the doors of the Swansea distillery this summer.
