Holyrood – Arrival (Release No.1) (70cl, 46.1%)

Holyrood Arrival marks the exciting first single malt release from the Edinburgh distillery, bottled in 2023. This whisky showcases a complex maturation journey, having rested in a quartet of cask types: Oloroso Butts, Pedro Ximenez hogsheads, bourbon barrels, and rum barriques. The result is a richly layered spirit, hinting at dried fruits and spice from the sherry influence, balanced by vanilla sweetness and a touch of exotic rum character. Expect a full-bodied and flavourful experience, reflecting the innovative spirit of this new Scottish distillery.
