✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Holyrood Distillery's Single Malt Peated 'Full Cask' No 615 represents a bold chapter in the modern revival of Edinburgh's distilling heritage. After nearly a century without an active single malt distillery in the Scottish capital, Holyrood brought spirit production back to its historic heart. This expression showcases their innovative approach to Lowland single malt, utilizing heavily peated malted barley and maturing the spirit in a first-fill Bourbon barrel. The first-fill American oak infuses the robust, earthy smoke of the peated spirit with rich layers of creamy vanilla, toasted coconut, and sweet caramel. This marriage of heavy peat and active bourbon oak challenges the traditional perception of Lowland whiskies as purely light and delicate, offering instead a deeply complex, smoky, and sweet profile that honors Edinburgh's industrial and brewing past.
🍾 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.
