Penderyn is also working with the Football Association of Wales to produce the single malt ‘Yma O Hyd’, which ties in with the song adopted by fans and translates as ‘Still Here’.

Bale said: ‘Everyone knows how proud I am to be Welsh and so it’s a privilege to be able to invest in and become an ambassador for such a great Welsh brand.

Penderyn single-handedly revived whiskey production in Wales and became an international success story due to their passion for the product and commitment to quality.

Penderyn chief executive Stephen Davies said: ‘It’s a combination of two global Welsh brands. Gareth Bale is an ambassador for Wales as a nation around the world. We are very happy to establish this cooperation.

“In the future, Penderyn will be producing special celebratory ‘Gareth Bale’ whiskies, but for now we wish Gareth, manager Robert Page and the Welsh team and staff every success at the World Cup.”
