Holyrood Embra
Special features: Founded in 2019, the Holyrood Distillery is bringing single malt production back to Edinburgh after over a century. Embra, the distillery's second release, combines 56% peated malt with triple maturation in first-fill bourbon barrels, Islay quarter casks, and new American oak barrels. The bottle design is inspired by St. Leonard, the patron saint of coopers, in keeping with the distillery's location on St. Leonard's Lane.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Lemon peel, horse chestnut, with hints of peppermint and light hickory smoke.
- Palate: Wafer biscuits, dark chocolate mousse and notes of earthy Highland peat smoke.
- Finish: Pear compote with a round, clean finish.
Distillery/Bottler: Founded in Edinburgh in 2019, Holyrood Distillery aims to revive the long-lost tradition of single-malt whisky in the Scottish capital. It combines artisanal methods with an experimental spirit, utilizing different malts, fermentation techniques, and cask types. The distillery is closely tied to Edinburgh's history, which is reflected in the naming and design of its products.
