Holyrood – Arrival (70cl, 46.1%)

Holyrood – Arrival is a whisky from Holyrood (Lowland). Aged 3 years, bottled at 46.1% ABV, 70cl. Drawing on Edinburgh’s rich brewing heritage, the bespoke bottle avoids whisky cliché and leans into something a little more local, putting the already iconic Holyrood hourglass front and centre. The distinctive beer bottle silhouette and brown glass pay tribute to a once-bustling glassworks located at Baileyfield, not too far from the distillery, while the bold typography and unique shape of the label are decidedly forward-looking in their design. Matured in a variety of casks, namely from Oloroso Butts, Pedro Ximenez Hogsheads, Bourbon Barrels and Rum Barriques. They started distilling in 2019, this is their first and much awaited release.
