✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Holyrood Distillery's experimental ethos is beautifully captured in their yeast trial releases, such as those utilizing Pinnacle yeast. Located in Edinburgh, a city with a rich but long-dormant distilling history, Holyrood bypasses traditional Lowland conventions. Instead of light and grassy spirits, they explore how different yeast strains, specialty malts, and heritage barleys influence flavor. The Pinnacle yeast trials focus on how this specific distilling yeast interacts with their wort to produce distinct ester profiles, resulting in a spirit with remarkable depth, fruitiness, and complexity. Cask No 582 represents a singular snapshot of this innovative liquid journey, matured in a hand-selected cask that highlights the distillery's flavor-first philosophy.
🍾 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.
