    The Community Spirit

    GlenWyvis Distillery opened in late 2017, bringing distilling back to the town of Dingwall in the Scottish Highlands for the first time in over 90 years. The GlenWyvis team now produces single malt whisky and craft gin in the world’s first 100% community-owned, sustainable distillery.
    Established as a community benefit society, a share of all GlenWyvis’s future profits will be invested back into community projects both locally and further afield. To date, more than 3,400 people from some 36 countries have invested over £3.2 million to be part of the GlenWyvis journey.
    In 2018, the distillery launched GoodWill gin, followed by a series of barrel aged gins that spoke to its whisky roots. At the end of 2021, the distillery released its very first 3-year-old whisky to its members alongside a very limited retail release. Going forward, GlenWyvis plans to release one unique batch of whisky a year, growing sales whilst continuing small scale gin production.
