We're excited to announce the launch of our new ‘𝐏𝐚𝐲 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞’ tour at our five-star distillery and visitor centre. We'd like to welcome everyone to immerse themselves in the spirit of Fife in return for a ticket price that they feel comfortable with.
Our new initiative is available every Sunday for the 10:30am slot and will run from now until the end of March 2023. Each tour, usually priced at £12, lasts one hour and is the perfect introduction to Kingsbarns single malt whether you’re a whisky novice or an expert connoisseur.
Peter Holroyd, our Distillery Manager, said:
“There’s no denying that this has been a tough year financially for so many people and things are expected to get worse as we approach Christmas. Therefore, we wanted to ensure our award-winning distillery was accessible to everyone and provide a fun day out for locals and tourists alike.
We hope our Pay What You Like tours will encourage those who may not have considered a distillery tour before, to visit us, to see what we are all about, try our whisky, and enjoy passing some time in our lovely visitor centre.”
The ‘Pay What You Like’ tour is available to book through our website linked in our bio, using the discount code ‘𝐏𝐀𝐘𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄𝟐𝟐’’.
To book, customers must reserve the Sunday morning tour at 10:30am and enter the discount code upon checkout. At the end of each tour, customers will have the opportunity to pay something towards the cost of the tour, but only if they wish to.
Introducing our newest single malt whisky, matured exclusively in ex-peated casks.
These casks impart a range of smoky flavours, which Isabella Wemyss expertly blends to ensure consistency and introduce a sweet, soft smoke.
Coaltown of Wemyss is a mining village situated near Wemyss Castle, the ancestral home of the Wemyss family, who have deep roots in Fife and a long-standing connection to whisky, Drawing inspiration from this rich heritage, we are delighted to introduce Coaltown to our core range of Kingsbarns Single Malts.
We pride ourselves on maintaining an expert balance between our light spirit style and the quality cask influence, ensuring that the casks compliment rather than overpower the whisky. This expression is a testament to our dedication to creating harmonious and nuanced Lowland whiskies.
Coaltown captures its heritage in its flavour profile, featuring a delicate sweet smoke note that compliments our classic fruity, slightly floral Lowland spirit. This release is perfect for newcomers to smoky whiskies and offers seasoned drinkers a complex and nuanced Lowland dram to explore.

Our Journey
In 2023, we launched Doocot, the next evolution of our Distillery's flagship whisky, showcasing how additional years of maturation have refined and enhanced our classic Lowland spirit style. Since then, Doocot has been honoured with the World Whisky Award gold for Lowland Single Malt, a testament to the expertise and craftsmanship that define every expression we create.
Building on this success, we are excited to introduce Kingsbarns Coaltown, designed to demonstrate our mastery in achieving a delicate balance of cask and spirit influence in our whiskies. Kingsbarns Coaltown will become the third expression in our core range, offering a truly unique Kingsbarns flavour experience. This new release represents our Lowland take on a smoky whisky, showcasing our innovative spirit and dedication to excellence.
