✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This exceptional single malt from Edinburgh's Holyrood Distillery represents a thoughtful marriage of heritage ingredients and traditional wood management. Crafted from Golden Promise—a legendary Scottish barley variety prized in the mid-20th century for its rich, oily texture and sweet, robust flavor profile—this spirit undergoes fermentation with select yeasts before distillation in Holyrood's tall, elegant stills. The spirit is then matured exclusively in a first-fill Oloroso sherry hogshead (Cask No. 236). This specific cask type imparts deep, luxurious notes of dried figs, dark chocolate, toasted walnuts, and warm baking spices, beautifully complementing the heavy, cereal-forward character of the Golden Promise distillate. It stands as a testament to Edinburgh's rich brewing and distilling heritage, revived in a contemporary, flavor-first style.
🍾 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.
