✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Holyrood Distillery, located in the heart of Edinburgh, has revitalized the city's rich distilling and brewing heritage. This particular expression highlights their deeply experimental ethos, specifically focusing on the impact of yeast on flavor development—a variable often overlooked in traditional Scotch whisky production. By utilizing Pinnacle yeast, a classic distilling strain known for its efficient conversion and clean profile, and maturing the spirit in a single selected cask, Holyrood showcases how raw ingredients and fermentation choices dictate the final character of Lowland single malt. The spirit reflects Edinburgh's historic brewing past, where yeast strains were carefully guarded secrets, bringing a modern, flavor-first approach to the traditional Lowland style.
🍾 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.
