The Global Family Business Champions

Harvesting For The Next Bottling At Kingsbarns Distillery


Kingsbarns Distillery are proud to be a family-owned and operated company, which is one of their four brand pillars that are key to how they work. From place to process, people to passion, their pillars are the key elements that make Kingsbarns’ unique spirit.


Every bottle of Kingsbarns single malt whisky begins with locally grown, Fife barley. Coming into the harvest season, they took the time to visit Bill Whiteford, one of the farmers that grows barley to be used in their whiskies, and capture this process of harvesting barley that will later go into their Kingsbarns whiskies.


Using locally grown barley anchors their spirit to their place and they are proud to work closely with local farmers. Check out the story with Bill Whiteford, another multi-generational family farm in this fantastic film.
