Welsh whisky giant Penderyn has been handed the keys to its new distillery buildings in Swansea following its completion. The site, located at the former Hafod-Morfa Copperworks near the Swansea.com stadium, is Penderyn's third distillery and visitor attraction.
The distiller opened its second site in Llandudno in 2021, with its first distillery located in the Brecon Beacons. The new buildings at Swansea include a visitor centre linked to the site's historic rolling mill via a new walkway where the distillery has a barrel store.
There is also a shop, tasting bar, exhibition space, offices and VIP bar in the grade two listed building. Penderyn Distillery is now installing equipment ahead of opening the operational distillery and visitor attraction. In a previous interview with BusinessLive, chief executive Stephen Davies said he hopes the Swansea site will get over 80,000 visitors a year due to its close proximity to the M4 and Swansea to London railway line.
