£2.25 million for Dingwall whisky venture

GLENWYVIS and Community Shares Scotland have hit the £2.25 million mark in an effort to raise investment for the world's first community-owned distillery project.

With more than 2,300 investments from people in more than 30 countries, founder John F. McKenzie of GlenWyvis Community Benefit Society says: ‘We hoped for £1.5 million, we were delighted when we hit £2 million, and we are ecstatic reaching £2.25 million so quickly. It really does underpin our ambition to make whisky history in Dingwall. The distillery will bring employment and added tourism, and put Dingwall on the world whisky map after a gap of 90 years.’

The GlenWyvis Distillery will be built on a farm above Dingwall and will be 100% community-owned distillery and 100% powered by green energy.
