Hiraeth Live is a community of businesses working with two Welsh charities to fundraise. Hafal works with people across Wales who live with mental illness, or care for someone who does. Llamau’s mission is to end youth homelessness and homelessness for women in Wales. Penderyn Distillery have just released a bottle called Hiraeth, and you can see it below.

We've already raised £4400 on Virgin Money Giving, but they have closed, so now we use Just Giving.

Penderyn are delighted to announce that the 8th in their ‘Icons of Wales’ series, called Hiraeth, and is now available to order online.

This edition costs £55 and commemorates the wonderful Welsh word, ‘Hiraeth’. Difficult to translate into English; some say it means ‘yearning’ or ‘homesickness’, but the BBC’s Roy Noble summed it up very nicely as: “a longing for your homeland, your heritage and your very being”.

This whisky is an ex-Bourbon cask finish and is bottled at 46% abv. This is the first time Penderyn have released a core range single malt using mainly spirit from the pot stills, which we introduced in 2014.
