✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Representing a bold departure from traditional Scotch whisky production, Holyrood's Brewers x Distillers Yeast Spirit is an unaged new make spirit designed to showcase the profound impact of fermentation on flavor. While the Scotch industry has long relied on high-yield, standardized distiller's yeast, Holyrood revives Edinburgh's historic legacy as a brewing powerhouse by co-fermenting malted barley with both traditional distiller's yeast and specialty brewer's yeast. This experimental marriage yields an incredibly aromatic and textured spirit, bursting with tropical esters, cereal sweetness, and a distinct bready complexity directly from the washback. By bottling this spirit 'new make' (unaged), Holyrood invites spirits enthusiasts to experience the pure, raw DNA of their liquid before it ever touches an oak cask.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Holyrood Distillery blev grundlagt i 2019 af Rob og Kelly Carpenter i samarbejde med den tidligere Macallan-masterdistiller David Robertson. Etableringen markerede en historisk milepæl, da produktionen af single malt whisky dermed vendte tilbage til det centrale Edinburgh efter næsten et århundredes fravær. Destilleriet har til huse i en ombygget jernbanebygning fra 1830'erne, klos op ad Holyrood Park i det skotske Lowlands, og drives ud fra en progressiv filosofi, hvor smagen altid er i absolut centrum. Holyrood udfordrer de traditionelle rammer gennem dybdegående eksperimenter med historiske og særlige bygsorter som Golden Promise, alsidige gærtyper og nøje skræddersyede fadlagringer. Ud over at skabe nuancerede og komplekse single malt-whiskyer er det innovative mikrodestilleri også anerkendt for sine karakterfulde, håndværksmæssige gin, rom og botaniske spiritusser.
