Kingsbarns

The kingdom of Fife has proven fertile breeding ground for an extraordinary crop of new Lowland single malt whisky distilleries that have flowered in recent years. The Kingsbarns project was among the first of the new wave of Fife distilleries.

Kingsbarns distillery was the brainchild of Douglas Clement, a former caddie at the Kingsbarns championship golf course near St. Andrews. The project originally struggled to find funding, but the Kingsbarns distillery was finally built in 2014 after Clement sold the project to independent bottlers Wemyss Malts.

Whisky production began at Kingsbarns in early 2015 and the distillery’s first Lowland single malt was a limited edition investors-only Founders Reserve bottle which appeared at the end of 2018.
