Although William Wemyss originally worked in the wine business, the Wemyss family's connections with the whisky industry date back to the turn of the 19th century when John Haig (founder of Haig's) built his first distillery on Wemyss land. Their range was conceived with the aim of making whisky more accessible and understandable. They use the taste and aromas of the individual whiskies - rather than the distillery name - to identify each bottling so that the consumer can more easily recognise the style being purchased.
Aultmore distillery was built in 1896 and powered by a steam engine right up until 1969. Completely rebuilt in the 1970s with nothing of the old building left, the faithful engine that once powered the distillery 365 days a year now sits in the distillery's reception. Most of the whisky produced here ends up in Dewar's blends; however, recent releases have included a 12 Year Old and 18 Year Old single malt making it more common to see their own name on the bottle.
