✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Representing the historic revival of single malt distilling in Edinburgh, this peated single malt from Holyrood Distillery showcases the innovative spirit of the Lowlands. Distilled in the heart of Scotland's capital—a city whose rich brewing and distilling heritage was dormant for nearly a century—this expression marries the earthy, atmospheric depth of peat smoke with the sweet, wood-driven character of a first-fill bourbon barrel. Holyrood's distillers reject rigid historical formulas, instead experimenting with diverse yeast strains and specialty kilned malts. The result is a contemporary peated style where the heavy, phenolic smoke is beautifully integrated with the bright, sweet vanilla, toasted coconut, and soft orchard fruit notes imparted by the fresh American oak cask.
🍾 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.
