Three Ships Explained

Three Ships is a brand of whisky distilled at the James Sedgwick distillery in Wellington, Western Cape (Drakenstein Local Municipality), South Africa.[1] The distillery produces both malt and grain whiskies on the same site, which is unusual for whisky distilleries. The Three Ships range includes blended and single malt whiskies. Three Ships is owned by Distell, a multinational brewing and beverage company based in South Africa.[2]

Andy Watts is currently the Master Distiller, only the 6th since the distillery was established in 1886.[3]
