Wemyss Family Spirits are offering whisky lovers the chance to participate in the art of blending through a brand-new hands-on experience guided by industry experts. Participants will be taught the intricacies of whisky blending, including practical exercises where they can even create their own unique dram.
Isabella Wemyss, co-founder and director of production for Wemyss Family Spirits commented: "No matter if you are a whisky connoisseur or someone at the start of their whisky journey, our team have created a unique experience that caters to all. This is a hands-on experience that will allow visitors to take what they’ve learned and experiment blending their own whisky that they can then take home.”
Attendees will learn directly from leading whisky experts trained under Isabella who leads the selection of casks and blending of both Wemyss Malts and Kingsbarns whisky.
Isabella Wemyss’ journey began in the family’s tea business, where she trained as a tea taster, honing her skills in flavour analysis. Bringing this expertise into the whisky industry, in 2005 Isabella joined her brother William Wemyss, founder and chairman of Wemyss Family Spirits, in shaping Kingsbarns Distillery in Fife, where she is passionate about creating unique flavours through cask choice.
William Wemyss added: “Our blending workshops will offer a chance for the team to share their passion and expertise with guests, while showcasing the distinct qualities that make our whiskies stand out. Those who come can expect to come away with some new knowledge, as well as a top-quality dram they would have blended themselves to share with friends and family.”
Wemyss Family Spirits is now welcoming visitors to its new experience at its Kingsbarns Distillery in Fife, with booking slots now available.
Tickets for the experience start at £50 with sessions running for approximately one hour. Those interested are encouraged to book on the website soon to avoid missing out.
