Welsh Whisky News
Welcome to Welsh Whiskey News on Planet Whiskies. There are currently seven whisky distilleries in Wales, but we only receive news from one of them, Penderyn, which is the most famous Welsh distillery. We would love to cover all seven distilleries, and hopefully, one day, that will happen, and we can have full coverage of the Welsh whisky industry.
Planet Whiskies has been sharing the latest news stories on our website for over 16 years, but this page only dates back to 2020 to keep all the whisky news relevant to recent times. Older news stories can be found on the Latest Whiskies News main page.
We want to cover all Welsh Whisky Distilleries, but we can only broadcast from distilleries or P.R companies that contact us. If you wish your distillery's latest news, please contact your latest whisky news at contact contact@planetwhiskies.com.
