FROM DREAM TO DRAM - Take a local golf caddie and dram-lover; a man with a dream. Add a characterful cluster of old farm buildings set amid sunlit barley fields and ruffle gently with sea breezes. Introduce a prominent Fife family with impeccable whisky credentials then sprinkle generously with determination and the spirit of adventure.
The Wemyss family is delighted to have opened its first single malt whisky distillery in the delightful East Neuk of Fife. Situated on the Cambo Estate near the village of Kingsbarns, the buildings at East Newhall Farm have been carefully restored and converted into a small distillery and visitor centre.
The original rooms contain an exhibition, including film, whisky sensory experience and the opportunityy to go inside the restored 18th century "doocot" which holds the first cask filled at Kingsbarns. Friendly guides lead tours of the working distillery.
The visitor centre also offers a range of different tours and tastings from the Wemyss Malts collection of Scotch whiskies. There is a whisky and souvenir shop and cafe serving light refreshments. Free parking.
