Next up in our Meet the Team series, introducing Gregor Stirling, our European Regional Sales Manager.
“I have always had a passion to work in the spirits industry, and this all started during my student years as a bartender at a local bar. I enjoyed the craic with locals, and the sense of conviviality which beer and whisky brings. I was then lucky enough to take part in a global graduate scheme, which saw me move to Poland for three years, before returning to Scotland where I was based as an international Brand Ambassador.
From there I have been lucky enough to visit some of the most exciting and vibrant whisky markets, and I have well and truly caught the ‘travel bug’, which has led me to my current role with Wemyss Family Spirits. I look forward to working with the award winning Wemyss portfolio!
I love the variety of my role; speaking with and travelling to our partners in markets across Europe with the Wemyss Family Spirits portfolio is hugely rewarding and fulfilling. Not only do I enjoy talking about our great products, but I love sharing the story of Scotch Whisky. I really do hope it’s not too long until we are able to get back to on the road, and to sharing a dram with our keen followers at whisky festivals.
My favourite drink has to be a Balcomie Old Fashioned. I love the sweet warming spice of this Sherry matured expression, which is complemented by the orange zest and angostura bitters in what is one of my go to Friday night tipples.”

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.
