A St Andrews based distiller producer has launched its first-ever cask ownership programme, giving whisky lovers the chance to purchase their own barrel of whisky.

Kingsbarns Distillery has introduced the initiative with a strong focus on safety and trust, offering what it describes as the highest possible standards for purchasing and storing casks.

Owned by Wemyss Family Spirits, the distillery describes the new Kingsbarns Private Cask Programme as a gold-standard model, offering full traceability, secure on-site storage, and in-house oversight.

William Wemyss, director, said: “For some time, we’ve wanted to launch our own programme, but we wanted to ensure that in doing so, we developed a robust programme that is the gold standard and delivers nothing but the best quality whisky.

“We’ve kept things simple and straightforward. Buyers are purchasing directly from the distillery, not through a third-party or secondary market.
