Penderyn Icons Of Wales #12 - Copperopolis Single Malt Welsh Whisky
In stock
Swansea became known as Copperopolis because from 1720, 50% of the world’s copper and 90% of the UK’s copper was smelted in the area. Penderyn’s new distillery is in the powerhouse of the old copperworks building.
In 1980 production of copper ceased when the Hafod works closed, but in 2023 Penderyn Distillery Swansea forged a new future for Copperopolis, mastering the elements of Wales once more to create the precious liquid Aur Cymru, the Gold of Wales.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Copper-gold with a warm amber glow, like sunlit copper in a Welsh dusk—radiant, inviting and lustrous.
Nose
Floral and fruity, with orange blossom, peaches and cherries, and a lift of orange peel. Sweet vanilla and honey weave through a light spice of dried fruits.
Palate
Luscious mouthfeel with rich caramel and honey sweetness, layered with dried fruits—raisins and figs—and a gentle kiss of oak spice.
Finish
Dry oak lingers, with a bright citrus sweetness carrying through to the finale, and a delicate dusting of cocoa at the very end.
