✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This exceptional single malt represents a historic milestone: the return of single malt distilling to Edinburgh after a century-long silence. Crafted from Golden Promise, a legendary heritage barley variety renowned for its rich, oily texture and sweet, robust flavor profile, this spirit harks back to the golden era of Scotch whisky production. The spirit was matured in a first-fill Oloroso sherry hogshead (Cask No 227), a vessel that imparts deep, luxurious notes of dried dark fruits, toasted nuts, and warm baking spices. By combining traditional Lowland distilling techniques with experimental heritage grains and premium sherry wood, Holyrood has created a deeply complex, full-bodied spirit that bridges Edinburgh's rich industrial distilling past with modern innovation.
🍾 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.
