Whiskey, Women and Wales

Raise a Glass!
Whether you're tracking a trophy buck or snagging holiday bargains, it’s time to celebrate YOU—because you’ve earned it. And what better way to do that than with a glass of whiskey? Imagine this: you, your crew, a roaring fire, and a sip of something bold and complex, just like you—cool, versatile, and unapologetically awesome.
Whiskey & Holiday Vibes
While others sip on predictable party punch, you’re savoring a drink with depth. Whiskey isn’t afraid to make an impression—spicy, smoky, smooth, maybe even a little fiery. Sound familiar? That’s you juggling work deadlines, conquering holiday shopping, and sidestepping your aunt’s unsolicited “advice.”
Picture the scene: you walk into the party, whiskey in hand—neat, on the rocks, or a killer old-fashioned. Suddenly, you’re the vibe. Whiskey isn’t just a drink; it’s your mood accessory. It says, I’m here, I’ve got taste, and no, I don’t do “basic."
So, this season, let others squabble over eggnog while you raise your glass and own the the room. Because whiskey, like you, doesn’t blend in. It stands out.
High-Octane, Women-Driven Innovation
Speaking of standing out, let’s toast to Penderyn Distillery—a game-changer in the whiskey world. Nestled in Wales, Penderyn revived a centuries-old tradition of Welsh whiskey making in 2004 and has since become a global sensation. But here’s the kicker: this distillery is powered by a team of amazing women who don’t just make whiskey; they redefine it.
With Laura, Aista, and Bethan large and in charge, Penderyn crafts liquid gold using the Faraday still, which distills raw spirits to a jaw-dropping 92% ABV. This pure, fruity spirit ages in bourbon barrels and finishes in casks like Madeira, Port, or Sherry, delivering bold, juicy flavors that demand attention.
Their innovation has earned Penderyn over 50 prestigious awards across 40+ countries, proving their whiskey is as extraordinary as the women behind it.
So, here’s to whiskey that’s unapologetically bold, just like you—and to the women crafting it with heart and soul. This holiday season, let’s raise a glass to flavor, fire, and the fearless. Cheers!
