✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Holyrood Distillery's innovative Single Malt Red Wine Yeast series represents a pioneering, boundary-pushing endeavor in the heart of Edinburgh. By substituting traditional distiller's yeast with active red wine yeast strains, Holyrood infuses the wash with a complex array of esters and organic compounds usually reserved for fine winemaking. This experimental fermentation process yields a spirit rich in dark berry, cherry, and subtle tannic nuances before it even touches the wood. Distilled in their tall, customizable copper pot stills, this Lowland single malt bridges the gap between brewing, winemaking, and distilling, offering a highly aromatic, fruit-forward profile that challenges the conventional boundaries of Scotch whisky.
🍾 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.
