Kingsbarns Distillery/Wemyss Malts began production in 2014 as part of the Wemyss family's expansion into whisky production.

The Maturation Module enables Peter and his team to track every aspect of their cask inventory lifecycle, including both distillery-owned and third-party owned casks. From initial filling through regauging, sampling, and movement operations, the system maintains detailed records of each cask's journey through the warehouse while clearly identifying ownership. This comprehensive tracking is essential for managing the complex requirements of multiple cask owners and maintaining accurate customer records.
Vapour's warehouse management capabilities have streamlined daily operations, allowing warehouse staff to efficiently locate, move, and monitor casks using mobile scanning technology. The platform's automated reporting provides Peter with real-time insights into inventory levels, ownership tracking, and operational efficiency, enabling data-driven decisions about warehouse management and customer service.
