✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Holyrood Distillery, located in the heart of Edinburgh, represents a bold renaissance of urban distilling in the Lowlands. This experimental release highlights their fascination with the impact of yeast on flavor development—a variable often ignored in industrial whisky production. By utilizing Pinnacle yeast, a strain celebrated for its ability to yield clean, ester-rich, and fruit-forward profiles, Holyrood coaxes vibrant orchard fruit and delicate floral notes from the malted barley. Matured in a single selected cask, this expression showcases the distillery's philosophy of prioritizing flavor over efficiency, marrying Edinburgh's rich brewing heritage with modern distilling innovation.
🍾 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.
