✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Holyrood Distillery's 'Full Cask' No. 237 represents a historic milestone: the revival of single malt distilling in Edinburgh after a century-long hiatus. This exceptional release highlights 'Golden Promise,' a legendary heritage barley variety that dominated the Scotch whisky industry in the 1960s and 70s, prized for its rich, oily texture and sweet, robust flavor profile despite its low agricultural yield. Distilled in the heart of the Lowlands, this spirit was matured exclusively in a first-fill Oloroso Sherry hogshead. The interaction between the heavy, sweet, and nutty character of the Oloroso-seasoned European oak and the sweet, bready distillate of the Golden Promise barley creates a deeply complex Lowland single malt. It bridges Edinburgh's rich brewing and distilling heritage with modern, flavor-first 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.
