✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This exceptional single malt represents a historic milestone: the return of single malt distilling to Edinburgh after a century-long silence. Crafted at the innovative Holyrood Distillery, this expression is a tribute to Scotland's rich agricultural and distilling heritage. It features Golden Promise, a legendary heritage barley variety dominant in the 1960s and 1970s, celebrated for its rich, oily texture and sweet, robust flavor profile, despite its low agricultural yields. The spirit has been matured in a hand-selected, first-fill Oloroso sherry hogshead (Cask No 229). This intensive maturation process infuses the spirit with deep, autumnal notes of dried dark fruits, warm baking spices, and roasted nuts, completely redefining the traditionally light and grassy Lowland style into something wonderfully complex and full-bodied.
🍾 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.
