Welsh whisky (Welsh: wisgi Cymreig) is liquor made from malt, grain and water that is produced in Wales. There are currently two types of Welsh whisky: Malt Whisky and Grain Whisky
Whisky has been distilled in Wales since the Middle Ages, but production died out in the late nineteenth century. In the 1990s attempts were made to revive the practice, resulting in the establishment of Wales's first distillery in over one hundred years.
