Speaking about the launch, Matthew

inaugural release – the first whisky
produced in Dingwall for almost 100
years – I’m delighted to welcome Batch 2
to the GlenWyvis Distillery family!"
Describing the new whisky Matthew said

influence and a deeper colour than our
first whisky, while still letting our
unique spirit shine through. I hope
everyone enjoys getting to know our
distillery character.”
