Kingsbarns

A new built distillery in the Lowlands

The story of Kingsbarns Single Malt Scotch Whisky begins with the conversion of a historic and semi-derelict farm steading into a distillery. For more than three years the Wemyss family worked closely with architects, engineers, designers, and leading whisky specialists as the vision slowly took shape.
 

A background of long history

The Wemyss family owners – a famous independent bottler - have a longstanding passion for malt whisky and connections with the industry dating back to the turn of the 19th century. Kingsbarns Distillery opens another chapter in the Wemyss story and adds an exciting new dimension to an award-winning portfolio of single cask regional malts and blended whiskies from Wemyss Malts.
 

Opening

Our copper pot stills were hand-made at Forsyths in Rothes, Speyside, both the Wash Still and the Spirit Still will play an integral part in determining the light character of spirit produced at Kingsbarns Distillery. The distillery opened on the 30th of November in 2014. Kingsbarns new make spirit has been bottled giving visitors and curious whisky drinkers a unique chance to sample the spirit before it matures.
