You’ve heard of Scottish Whisky, Irish Whiskey, Tennessee Whiskey and Kentucky Bourbon (which is also a whiskey.) But what about Welsh Whisky? The vowel-hating nation next to England is known mostly for Tom Jones and having a language that requires three tongues to properly speak. Actually, I’m just kidding. The country of Wales isn’t actually known at all.

But Penderyn single malt welsh whisky may just put them on the map. With notes of raisins and light fruit, this is a much lighter delicate than your average heavily peated LaPhroaig or Ardbeg. Which makes it well-liked by critics and women alike. Pull out a bottle of this the next time someone of the opposite sex or a well-known whisky critic comes over.

Say this to sound smart: Penderyn finishes its ageing process in Madeira casks which gives it a subtlety and compexity not seen in other whiskies.
Say this to sound stupid: I’m pretty sure my mom had sex with Tom Jones.
Proof: 92 (46% abv)
Price: $45
