In 1975, Fleetwood Mac recorded a song by the same name which topped the US charts at No 11 in 1976 and has since been named by Rolling Stone as one of the 500 Greatest Songs of all Time. Additionally, Stevie Nicks wrote the Fleetwood Mac song “Angel” based on the Rhiannon story.

Penderyn Legend
(Women Who Whiskey Collaboration)
Penderyn Legend is matured in specifically reserved ex-Bourbon casks made from American Oak, before receiving further maturation in Oak Barriques that have previously held Madeira wine, to develop a harmonious Single Malt whisky with a subtle but sophisticated character and soft golden hues.
In 2021, Women Who Whiskey celebrates 10 years of uniting whiskey lovers around the globe. Both for amateurs and connoisseurs, wWw is dedicated to creating a space where our members can cultivate their passions for whiskey and community. With a focus on inclusion, wWw aims to create an educational and experimental environment for those who have all-too-often been left out of the traditionally male-dominated world of whiskey, and foster a world-wide network of like-minded people with a taste for curiosity and delicious drams. Cheers!
