Glenwyvis is Scotland's only community owned distillery and was opened in 2018. It's also a very eco-friendly distillery with its own hydro-electric, wind and solar power.
Like a lot of other Scottish distilleries, Glenwyvis have opted to make gin while waiting on their whisky to mature, and Goodwill Gin - which is made from their small copper still named Heather - is their offering.
Goodwill Gin took home a bronze award from the International Wine & Spirit Competition - IWSC this summer.
