Holyrood Pitch Single Malt Scotch Whiskey
Special features: The Holyrood Distillery in Edinburgh uses an unusual combination of Scottish pot still malt and brown malt, which is otherwise primarily used in dark porters, for this single malt. Specially selected red wine yeasts (Pepe Nero and Toro Nero) are also used, giving the whisky a special depth. Maturation in Oloroso sherry casks rounds out the flavor profile with nutty and fruity notes.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Cocoa, black currant, honey
- Palate: Sweet and full-bodied with red fruit compote, hazelnuts and spicy green peppers
- Finish: Hints of coffee, raisins and oak spice
Distillery/Bottler: Located in the heart of Edinburgh, the Holyrood Distillery takes an innovative approach to whisky production. Rather than relying solely on cask notes, the distillery experiments with different malts and yeasts to create complex and characterful Lowland whiskies. This is particularly evident in the "Pitch," a single malt that combines traditional methods with creative influences.
