THE world’s first community-owned distillery will soon release their second single malt bottling.

Batch two of the Dingwall-based GlenWyvis distillery’s 2018 vintage distillation, known as Batch 02/18, will go on sale from June 29.

This follows the release of their first three-year-old inaugural release whisky in December 2021, which was in high demand and rapidly sold out on pre-orders when t was first announced.

Speaking about the launch, Matthew Farmer, GlenWyvis distillery manager, said: “Following the success of our inaugural release – the first whisky produced in Dingwall for almost 100 years – I’m delighted to welcome batch two to the GlenWyvis Distillery family!

“Bottled from a careful selection of casks between three and four years old, 02/18 has noticeably more oak influence and a deeper colour than our first whisky. This time around, there have been no pre-sales so anyone who missed out on our inaugural release will now have the opportunity to own a bottle of batch two whisky. I really hope you all enjoy it!”

The second batch will come with 8,000 bottles available in total, and can be purchased directly from GlenWyvis Distillery’s website, with shareholders given early access, or from selected specialist retailers in Scotland and the UK. A number of bottles will also be available for purchase in Germany, where GlenWyvis Distillery’s largest non-UK shareholder base is.

Five per cent of online sales from GlenWyvis Distillery’s website will go directly to the GoodWill Fund; a fund that will benefit community projects and good causes in the Dingwall and Ross-shire area.

The distillery also recently held an event in support of social care charity Cornerstone.

GlenWyvis Distillery’s inaugural release whisky was in high demand, selling out via pre-order almost immediately. Since then, the small team has been working hard to deliver an equally sought-after second offering.

Board Chairman, David Graham added: “Congratulations to the team on the launch of GlenWyvis Batch Two Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky! For such a small team at the distillery, they really punch above their weight, and I am very proud of what they have achieved.

“Dingwall is well and truly back on the whisky making map!”
