Wemyss Family Spirits Marks Major Milestone with New Bonded Warehouses

InvestFife news

March 19, 2025
Sectors: 

A GROWING family-owned spirits producer has unveiled brand new premium storage facilities, marking a major milestone in the company’s development.  

Located in Glenrothes, Fife, as part of Wemyss Family Spirits’ multi-million-pound investment programme, Kingsbarns Distillery is expanding its capacity to support the future growth of its whisky portfolio. 

The firm has now finalised four bonded warehouses, each spanning 1,000 square meters, which will soon be able to store up to 14,400 casks each. 

The facilities will enhance control over stock, ensuring that the business is well-prepared for launching new releases and limited editions in the coming years. 

William Wemyss, Wemyss Family Spirits Founder and Chairman, said: 

“This is another major milestone for us, as these new warehouses allow us to bring a large portion of our maturing whisky under one roof, while significantly expanding our storage capacity. 

This project has been years in the making and marks the next natural step in our business’s evolution while also representing the confidence we have in the trajectory of growth we are currently on. 

As we continue to expand our production capabilities, securing the right infrastructure to support our ambitions is essential. 

These warehouses provide the space we need, not just for today, but for the long-term future of Wemyss Family Spirits.” 

Colorado Construction was chosen as the preferred construction partner for the project, having successfully completed Kingsbarns Distillery. 

An already strong relationship with InchDairnie Distillery facilitated an efficient and well-executed vision for the site, while Fife Council provided valuable guidance throughout the planning process, ensuring a smooth path to approval. 

Speaking on the next stages, Isabella Wemyss, Production Director said: 

“We are incredibly grateful to InchDairnie Distillery, Colorado Construction, and Fife Council for their support in bringing this project to life. 

Our next priority is transferring a significant portion of our casks into the new warehouses, consolidating more of our maturing stock in a single location. 

These new facilities will provide us with even greater oversight of our inventory and cask management, allowing us to carefully monitor their progress and respond more efficiently to customer requests. 

In addition to housing our own stock, we have also partnered with an external business, with one of our warehouses now being used by industry partners for premium whisky storage.” 

The expansion has been made possible through support from Fife Council’s Economic Development Team, who worked closely with Wemyss Vintage Malts to facilitate the purchase of the land now housing the state-of-the-art warehouses.  

Pamela Stevenson, Service Manager for Fife Council’s Economic Development Team commented: 

“We are proud to have worked alongside Wemyss Family Spirits to secure the land that has made this development possible. Their continued investment in Fife reflects both their long-term commitment to the area and the strength of the region’s spirits industry. 

This project not only supports the future growth of Wemyss Family Spirits but also reinforces Fife’s position as a key location for premium whisky production. We are delighted to have played a part in helping deliver this significant milestone.” 

In 2005, siblings William and Isabella started on their whisky journey with the launch of Wemyss Malts, a brand dedicated to crafting expertly blended single malts. 

With a background in the family’s French vineyard and a deep connection to Scotland’s whisky heritage, William focused on blending exceptional single malts, while Isabella played a key role in sourcing new-make spirit, selecting oak casks, and curating mature stock to develop high-quality small-batch whiskies. 

Expanding their spirits portfolio, Wemyss Family Spirits introduced Darnley’s Gin in 2010, inspired by the historic meeting of Mary Queen of Scots and Lord Darnley at Wemyss Castle in 1565. 

Their whisky legacy took another step forward in 2014 with the founding of Kingsbarns Distillery, a small, family-run distillery and visitor centre located near the village of Kingsbarns in Fife.
