About GlenWyvis Distillery

Glenwyvis Distillery is a Scotch whisky and gin distillery located in Dingwall, it is entirely powered by renewable energies such as hydro, wind, solar, and chip biomass heating systems.

Founded in 2015 by John McKenzie, a farmer, green energy advocate, and commercial helicopter pilot, Glenwyvis launched a successful crowdfunding campaign in 2016, raising around £2.6 million from over two thousand contributors, primarily from the local area. The distillery, built on an uphill site a few miles from Dingwall, opened on St Andrew’s Day, 2017. Production of whisky and gin began in 2018 under the guidance of master distiller Duncan Tait, and by 2019, Glenwyvis had produced over 39,248 litres of whisky.

Despite a minor fire in October 2019, the distillery continued its operations and even hosted online events during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 2023, Glenwyvis offers two 4-year-old single malt whiskies.

1. Rarity and Quality

GlenWyvis is a renowned distillery located in Scotland with a rich heritage in producing fine whiskies. The rarity and quality of their products makes them desirable to collectors and enthusiasts, only increasing their value over time.

2. Age and Maturation

Whisky typically gains value as it ages and matures in the cask. The longer it remains in the cask, the more it has the potential to develop complexity and depth of flavors. We offer cask purchase programs that allow you to select the type of cask and aging duration, providing you with control over the maturation process.

3. Limited Supply

Buying a cask allows you to own a unique piece of Bladnoch’s Kirkcowan Spirit production and a part of Bladnoch’s history. As the availability of aged and limited-edition whiskies decreases over time, the scarcity of these bottles can drive up their value. 

4. Market Demand

Whisky has experienced growing popularity worldwide, particularly with the rise of collectors and investors seeking alternative assets. If the demand for premium Scotch whisky remains strong or continues to increase, it could positively impact the investment potential of your Kirkcowan Spirit (Bladnoch) cask. Recently we have seen the price of a standard bottle of Bladnoch rise from £40 to £80.
