Penderyn supporting Tosh premiere
We are delighted to welcome Penderyn Distillery as a supporter of the Tosh premiere at the Swansea.com Stadium on Friday, 13 May.
The Brecon Becons-based makers of award-winning whisky and spirits has been a huge supporter of Welsh football over the years and we are chuffed to bits to have them on board.
They’re promising a little gift for everyone attending what promises to be a great night. We’ll give you a hint, it’s not a cheesecake!

Ticket sales for the premiere at the home of Swansea City have been going well, but there are still a few available (hint, hint).
Click here for premiere tickets info.
Stars from past and present will be there on the night as we have a chat about a golden era in the club’s history before settling down to watch the documentary film.
Tosh has been a labour of love for director Pete Jones, who watched his heroes from the terrace at the Vetch Field as a small boy, and who, over the years, has amassed a treasure trove of amazing memorabilia while always nurturing a desire to commit the story to the silver screen.
For those who can’t make the premiere but still want that cinematic experience, Tosh is also been shown at movie theatres from Swansea to Liverpool.
Click here to find book tickets for cinema showings.
Or own a piece of Tosh history by buying the film on DVD or Blu-Ray via Amazon.
The DVD extras alone are worth pre-ordering as there are so many amazing stories we weren’t able to fit in the full film.
Penderyn’s Story
Penderyn produce award-winning single malt whiskies and spirits at their distillery on the foothills of the Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales, UK.
Distilling in Wales was a lost art, but in the late 1990s, in a pub in Hirwaun in the Welsh valleys, a group of friends chatted about establishing the first whisky distillery in Wales in over a century. They dreamt of creating a whisky as pure and precious as Welsh gold, represented today by Penderyn’s ‘gold seam’.

The village of Penderyn was chosen because of the site’s own supply of fresh natural spring water. A unique copper single-pot still designed by Dr David Faraday, a relative of the great 19th-century scientist Michael Faraday, was installed, which produces a spirit at an industry high of 92%. On St David’s Day 2004 Penderyn whisky was launched in the presence of HRH Prince Charles. An expansion in 2013/14 included a replica of the Faraday Still, and two lantern stills being installed.
With investment, inspiration, hard work, attention to detail, the finest barley, expert female distillers and the best American oak bourbon casks, Penderyn Whisky has quickly gained a worldwide reputation for its range of whiskies, winning over 70 Double Gold/Gold/Masters awards en route. Today Penderyn is now very much part of the world whisky conversation, and is available in over 45 countries.
As a result of the company's progress, a new distillery opened in Llandudno North Wales in May 2021, and a further distillery is planned for Swansea, in South Wales, in 2022.
