On June 28, 2006, Wales took a defining step toward self-governance when the Government of Wales Act was passed, an act that allowed the Welsh Assembly to make its own laws. Penderyn "Icons of Wales – Independence" commemorates this pivotal moment. More than just a whisky, it's a bottle of sovereignty, pride, and national identity, elevated by Madeira cask maturation that brings the emotion of that day to life in liquid form.
