Aber Falls Whisky Distillery – a short summary for whisky enthusiasts and investors

Aber Falls Distillery was launched in 2017 and began production in 2017/2018. The distillery is located in Abergwyngregyn near the Aber Falls waterfall in North Wales and marks the first whisky distillery in North Wales in over 100 years.
The first single malt whisky was released in May 2021. Today there is mention of ongoing, limited single-cask releases and additional releases in the portfolio, including various special releases produced in exciting cask types.

Production and ingredients: Spirits and whisky are produced with 100% Welsh malted grain and water from the distillery's own spring; distillation and maturation take place in Wales.
Production methods: Large copper stills are used for distillation and to remove sulfur, contributing to a clean and fruity profile.
Annual production and cask usage: Whisky is aged in a variety of wooden casks, including American oak casks (Bourbon/Oak), virgin oak and Spanish sherry casks to create a complex flavor. The cask sizes are not limited to standard – for example, the cask programme includes 200-liter American virgin oak casks.
Unique processes: All stages of production—from distillation to maturation and bottling—are said to take place in Wales; the distillery places particular emphasis on sustainability and local collaboration with farming and suppliers.
