Holyrood Distillery, located in the heart of Edinburgh's historic distilling district, is celebrated for its avant-garde approach to single malt production. Rejecting the rigid conventions of traditional Scotch whisky, Holyrood frequently experiments with specialty malts and non-traditional yeast strains. This particular expression showcases their innovative spirit by utilizing a red wine yeast strain during fermentation, rather than standard distiller's yeast. This choice imparts a distinct fruit-forward complexity, unique ester profile, and subtle vinous character to the spirit, which is then matured in selected casks. The result is a fascinating bridge between the worlds of winemaking and distilling, capturing the creative renaissance of modern Lowland spirits.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Founded in 2019 by Rob and Kelly Carpenter alongside former Macallan master distiller David Robertson, Holyrood Distillery marked the historic return of single malt whisky distilling to the center of Edinburgh after nearly a century. Situated in a converted 1830s railway goods building adjacent to Holyrood Park in Scotland's Lowlands, the distillery embraces a progressive, flavor-led production philosophy. Driven by extensive experimentation with specialty and heritage barley varieties like Golden Promise, diverse brewing yeasts, and tailored cask regimens, Holyrood pushes traditional boundaries. In addition to producing nuanced, complex single malt whiskies, the craft distillery is celebrated for its distinctive artisanal gins, rums, and innovative botanical spirits.
