The St Andrews, Fife-based Kingsbarns Distillery has announced the launch of a new limited-edition single cask release, inspired by one of golf’s most famous post-round destinations: the 19th hole. The release is said to bring together whisky-making expertise with the rich heritage of St Andrews.

Kingsbarns – The Dunvegan (46% ABV) is a 10 Year Old Lowland single malt Scotch whisky, drawn from a single Sherry butt.

Building on the momentum of last year’s inaugural golf-inspired release, ‘Caddies’ Dream’, which sold out in record time, this latest expression from Kingsbarns Distillery reinforces the growing demand for distinctive, story-led single malts rooted in place and provenance.

Developed by Wemyss Family Spirits, the family-owned business behind Kingsbarns Distillery, the release marks a rare collaboration with the Dunvegan Hotel, St Andrews. Often described as the ‘19th hole’ of St Andrews, the hotel has welcomed renowned names such as Clint Eastwood, Bill Murray, Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer, and has long been regarded as a central fixture in golfing culture.

Kingsbarns – The Dunvegan, is said to deliver notes of treacle cake, toffee, baked apricot tart and candied orange zest on the nose, followed by notes of pineapple sweets, pickled ginger, pastry and baking spices on the palate.

Commenting on the launch, Peter Holroyd, Distillery Manager at Kingsbarns Distillery, said: “This release captures something genuinely special: the moment at the end of a round when stories are shared and memories are made. There is a natural connection between whisky and golf, both rooted in patience, craft and tradition. By working with a venue so closely tied to the game, we have created a dram that reflects that shared heritage in an authentic way. This is not just about flavour; it is about place, history and the experience that surrounds both the whisky and the game.”

Lucy Fotheringham of the Dunvegan Hotel, added: “We have welcomed golfers from around the world, including some of the most famous names such as Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods, through our doors—each looking to reflect on their round and share a dram in a place that understands the game. This collaboration encapsulates that experience in the glass. There is a genuine connection between Kingsbarns Distillery and the Dunvegan Hotel, both shaped by St Andrews and its global reputation in golf. To see that shared story captured in a single cask whisky is something that will resonate strongly with those who value both tradition and authenticity.”

Limited to 750 bottles, Kingsbarns – The Dunvegan is now available from the distillery visitor centre and website, with a RRP of £120.00.
