✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted in the heart of Edinburgh, this exceptional single malt represents a historic return to the city's rich distilling heritage. Holyrood Distillery utilizes Golden Promise, a legendary heritage barley variety prized for its robust, oily texture and sweet, bready flavor profile, which was highly favored in the mid-20th century before being largely replaced by higher-yielding modern varieties. Matured entirely in a first-fill Oloroso sherry hogshead (Cask No. 233), this spirit marries the rich, cereal-forward character of the heritage grain with the intense dried fruit, dark chocolate, and roasted nut notes derived from the sherry-seasoned wood. The result is a deeply complex, full-bodied Lowland single malt that honors traditional raw materials while pushing the boundaries of modern flavor exploration.
🍾 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.
