Trying a few recent #Whisky samples tonight. My first go at a Glenwyvis, and one of only a handful of drams that’s ever gone straight down the sink. A rogue sample? Anyone tried this or similar offerings from this distillery?

Glen Wyvis is the first 100% community-owned distillery, which was created via a large community share offer in 2016. Recently they have had legal problems due to a dispute with a leaseholder. This was recently resolved by a court action in their favour.
