History
Madoc Whisky is created in Dina Huapi in Patagonia, Argentina, where the Andes meet the steppe, and here Madoc single malt whisky is born.
The distillery is a family-owned business founded in 2016 by Pablo Tognetti and his wife Gloria. Pablo, the creator of Argentina's first whisky distillery, ensures that the finest ingredients are blended in perfect balance with tradition and a pursuit of expertise to create this fresh and bold product.
Two copper stills with their swan necks dominate the production facility.
Our team consists of Pablo, who designed the whisky process, the conception of the equipment and supervised the construction. He leads the distillery and works with his children Conrado and Celia in production, while Roger Whewell is responsible for developing the expressions.
For maturation we use American and European oak casks, and for the finish we use casks that have previously held sherry, rum and wine.
Production / Manufacturing
