A Part of the Community

Many distilleries take great pains to be involved in their
surrounding communities, but Scotland’s Glen Wyvis Distillery
goes to an extreme. That’s because many members of the Dingwall
community are shareholders in the community distillery, which was
built with a crowdfunding campaign. The distillery donates a
percentage of its profits each year to grants for local community
programs, with a goal of improving life for all of Dingwall’s
residents. Distillery manager Matthew Farmer joins us on this
week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Wild Turkey honors Jimmy
Russell with its new visitors center, while Scotch Whisky
industry leaders are worried about a potential return to tariffs
after the U.S. Presidential election.
