Over 3,000 people invested, making GlenWyvis the world’s first 100% community-owned distillery. Committed to sustainability, GlenWyvis is powered by renewable energy sources, including wind, hydro, solar, and biomass, making it a leader in eco-friendly whisky production.

Glen Wyvis 2019 Little Brown Dog Madeira Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 56.5%

The independent bottler Little Brown Dog acquires casks from distilleries across Scotland and bottles them under their own brand – all bottles are adorned with the company’s distinctive little brown dog. Here, they have sourced a cask from the new Glen Wyvis Distillery.

Little Brown Dog writes:
We don't often get the chance to explore warehouses freely, and there’s a good reason for that. However, it seems the Glenwyvis team didn’t get the memo. On a day spent in their incredibly packed dunnage warehouse, after sampling many excellent casks, we found a truly outstanding one. This cask is remarkable as it is the first Madeira cask they have ever filled, making it a significant part of this young distillery’s history. We believe this cask pairs wonderfully with their spirit, and it’s likely that Madeira casks will become an important part of Glenwyvis’s identity in the future.

Interestingly, this cask was also one of the least accessible in the entire warehouse, so we’re quite pleased with our find. The whisky is characterized by a color reminiscent of strawberry wine. On the nose, it presents aromas of apricot, a unique hint of cidre (not cider), and pecans. The palate offers a delightful combination of strawberry tart, panforte, and Ethiopian coffee beans. The finish is marked by sweet notes of angelica and a touch of English mustard. Bottled the day after its 5th birthday, this release comprises just 299 bottles. It features natural color, is non-chill filtered, cask strength, and is a single cask offering.
