Fife-based distillers Kingsbarns has launched a new ‘Pay What You Like’ tour experience to help combat the cost of living crisis.

Running from now until the end of March 2023, visitors can immerse themselves in the experience in return for a ticket price that they feel comfortable with.

The new initiative is available every Sunday for the 10:30am slot. Each tour, usually priced at £12, lasts one hour and is an introduction to Kingsbarns’ single malt.

What will you learn?

Guests will visit the distillery’s exhibition space to learn more about the history and heritage of the brand, before going on a guided tour of the five-star distillery. They will gain knowledge of whisky production and learn how the spirit is matured.

The tour will end in one of the tasting rooms where each guest will receive two complimentary samples of the Kingsbarns’ single malts, including its award-winning ‘Dream to Dram.’

Peter Holroyd, Kingsbarns Distillery manager, said: “There’s no denying that this has been a tough year financially for so many people and things are expected to get worse as we approach Christmas.

“Therefore, we wanted to ensure our award-winning distillery was accessible to everyone and provide a fun day out for locals and tourists alike.

“We hope our Pay What You Like tours will encourage those who may not have considered a distillery tour before, to visit us, to see what we are all about, try our whisky, and enjoy passing some time in our lovely visitor centre.”

The ‘Pay What You Like’ tour is available to book via the Kingsbarns website using the discount code ‘PAYWHATYOULIKE22’.

At the end of each tour, customers will have the opportunity to pay something towards the cost of the tour, but only if they wish to.

To book, customers must reserve the Sunday morning tour at 10:30am and enter the discount code upon checkout. The distillery can also be contacted on 01333 451 300 for those who wish to book over the phone.
