Wemyss Malts

Not all whisky tastes the same. Scotland offers a wide spectrum of malt whisky created throughout the length and breadth of the country with a vast diversity of flavours. This wealth of variety is celebrated across the Wemyss core range.  

The Wemyss Malts are crafted to suit each taste whether that is sweet, complexly spicy or gently smoky. 

The Wemyss family has direct links to Scotland’s whisky history when Haig built the first distillery on their land in the Kingdom of Fife in 1840. 

Since the founding of Wemyss Malts in 2005, it has been independently run by brother and sister duo William and Isabella, who are kin of the Scottish Wemyss family. 

Enthused by his time spent with the expert wine blenders in Southern France, William Wemyss was inspired to create distinctive and bold Scottish whiskies. Isabella Wemyss, with her eye, and nose, for uncompromising quality, began to source exquisite single malts from Scotland and the very best oak casks from around the world. 

“Our wider family of whisky makers include blenders and veteran specialists of the whisky industry including the expertise of whisky writer Charlie Maclean, whose very invention of the whisky flavour wheel inspired the naming of our flavour-led creations. 

We thank the experts in our wonderful industry for their research into flavour creation and it is this exact imaginative and descriptive terminology that has inspired the names we gave to our creations.”
