Glenwyvis 2018 - 2023 #1501/02 Collective #1 The Pioneers

In 2015, GlenWyvis became the first Scots distillery to be founded as a Social Enterprise, running for the good of the community. Set on a picturesque ridge at the foot of Ben Wyvis, the distillery utilises hydro, solar and biomass energy in its production.

Vibrant aromas of fresh fruit sing from the glass with honeyed cantaloupe melon, warm gorse and zesty green apples. A zap of citrus opens the palate, bringing spiced pears, soft vanilla and more crisp apple. Pine wood and cinnamon dance together across the finish. This is a wonderfully invigorating Highland malt and would be perfect to enjoy in a crisp breeze on the summit of Ben Wyvis.

Glenwyvis Distillery

GlenWyvis Distillery is located in Dingwall, in the Scottish Highlands and is unique in that it is community-owned. Established in 2017, GlenWyvis marks the revival of distilling in the region after more than a century of absence. The distillery is located on a hill overlooking the Cromarty Firth, making for a beautiful and inspiring location.

A specific feature of GlenWyvis is its focus on sustainability and renewable energy. The distillery is powered entirely by wind, water and solar energy, which fits with their ethos of eco-friendly production. GlenWyvis uses locally grown barley and water from nearby Ben Wyvis, which contributes to the authentic character of their whiskies.

GlenWyvis whiskies are characterised by their clean, fresh and fruity flavour profiles, with notes of apple, pear and a subtle hint of spice. Maturation takes place in a mix of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, ensuring a complex and well-balanced flavour. GlenWyvis Distillery combines traditional techniques with modern sustainability and has quickly built a reputation for quality and innovation in the whisky world.
