Wemyss family backs new £3m distillery in Fife

THE Wemyss family, a Scottish business dynasty, has been unveiled as the backer of the £3 million Kingsbarns malt whisky distillery to be built in Fife.

The news comes a week after The Herald revealed that the distillery had secured a £670,000 government grant.

The Wemyss family has its roots in Fife and business interests from Kenyan tea plantations to Australian sheep farming, as well as independent whisky bottler Wemyss Malts.
