Since our 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.
