✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Holyrood Distillery's Single Malt Peated 1st Fill Bourbon Barrel 'Full Cask' No 616 represents a bold, modern chapter in Edinburgh's distilling legacy. Located in the heart of the Lowlands, Holyrood revived urban single malt production in a city that had been silent for nearly a century. This expression showcases their innovative spirit, combining peated malted barley with the sweet, vanilla-rich influence of a first-fill American oak ex-bourbon barrel. Unlike traditional Lowland whiskies known for their light, grassy character, Holyrood's peated expressions introduce a robust, smoky dimension, marrying coastal peat influence with the distillery's signature yeast-driven fruitiness. Cask No 616 is a testament to their single-cask program, offering a snapshot of a single moment in their 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.
