Food from Fife and The Fine Cheesemakers of Scotland Group are excited to announce a special Cheese & Whisky Experience with internationally acclaimed cheese expert Juliet Harbutt, taking place at Kingsbarns Distillery on Monday 4th August at 5.30pm.

This unique event brings together two of Scotland’s most celebrated artisan products – cheese and whisky – in an immersive experience led by one of the world’s leading authorities on cheese. Guests will enjoy a guided tasting of six Scottish artisan cheeses, accompanied by two specially selected single malts from Kingsbarns Distillery. The evening continues with a further whisky tasting to showcase more of the distillery’s exceptional range.

Juliet Harbutt is an internationally renowned cheese expert based in New Zealand, making this a rare and special opportunity to learn from her in person here in Scotland. With over 40 years of experience, Juliet founded the British Cheese Awards and the Great British Cheese Festival, co-founded London’s iconic Jeroboams, and authored the award-winning World Cheese Book. With a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm, her tastings are known for being engaging, insightful, and truly memorable.

"Bringing together Scotland’s finest artisan cheeses with the expertise of Juliet Harbutt is a truly special opportunity," said a spokesperson from The Fine Cheesemakers of Scotland Group. "Juliet is a global authority on cheese, and having her showcase the depth and diversity of Scottish cheesemaking is a real honour. Experiencing these exceptional cheeses alongside specially selected single malts from Kingsbarns Distillery promises an unforgettable journey of flavour.
