Many distilleries take great pains to be involved in their surrounding communities, but Scotland\u2019s Glen Wyvis Distillery goes to an extreme. That\u2019s 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\u2019s residents. Distillery manager Matthew Farmer joins us on this week\u2019s 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.\xa0
