Bringing blended Welsh whisky to life
Crafting Stories in Every Cask
In the stillness of our whisky room, surrounded by casks that each hold their own character, we gather to taste, to nose, and to imagine. Every barrel tells a story – shaped by grain, by wood, and by time spent in the Welsh wind as the liquid slowly matures.
Blending with Purpose, Not Compromise
For us, blending single malt Welsh whiskies is not about compromise, but about creation. By bringing together casks from our own cellar and other trusted Welsh distilleries, we build a whisky that carries integrity in every sip. Each element is chosen with intention, designed to bring life to a particular flavour profile.
Honouring Tradition While Innovating
This process is slow, thoughtful, and rooted in respect. Single malts remain the backbone of our craft, each a proud expression of place and tradition. But blending allows us to curate flavour, strike harmony, and create a whisky that speaks of the single malt heritage while becoming something new and fresh – both timeless and forward-looking.
Blends for Every Drinker
At In the Welsh Wind, we believe blends have a special role to play. They offer accessibility for newcomers and depth for enthusiasts. While not all blends are created equal, our growing Welsh whisky tradition gives us the foundation to craft blends that rival the best in the world.
Innovation and Creativity in Every Glass
Blending also allows us to be inventive, playful, and think beyond a single cask. It gives us the freedom to explore flavour combinations that a single malt alone might never reveal.
A Whisky That Stands Proudly Alongside Single Malts
The result is a whisky that does not compete with single malts, but stands proudly beside them – shaped by imagination, guided by craft, and inspired by the landscapes and people of Wales. At its heart, blended whisky is about bringing things together – honouring the past, embracing the present, and raising a glass to what’s yet to come.
