✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Holyrood Distillery's Single Malt 'Full Cask' No 232 represents a bold, flavor-first renaissance in Edinburgh's distilling history. Utilizing Golden Promise—a legendary, low-yielding heritage barley variety that dominated the Scotch whisky industry in the 1970s before being largely abandoned for higher-yielding modern hybrids—this spirit revives a rich, oilier, and deeply cereal-forward profile. Distilled in the heart of the Lowlands, this single cask release was matured exclusively in a first-fill Oloroso sherry hogshead. The wood imparts a dramatic, dark-fruit intensity, weaving notes of toasted nuts, baking spices, and dried figs into the robust, malty backbone of the Golden Promise spirit. It stands as a testament to Edinburgh's historic brewing and distilling heritage, marrying old-world agricultural traditions with modern, experimental wood management.
🍾 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.
