Holyrood Distillery: Single Cask Series #24

Cask Types

Tasting Notes

This single malt whisky from Holyrood Distillery is a true embodiment of Scotland's coastal landscapes. The heavily peated barley imparts a captivating smokiness reminiscent of driftwood fires by the sea, intertwined with earthy undertones and a warm vanilla embrace. As the dram dances on the palate, crisp orchard fruits mingle harmoniously with hints of honey, subtle spice, and a delightful salinity akin to savory crackers. The coastal influence persists, underpinned by a peppery heat that gradually evolves into smoky barbecue notes. The finish is a lingering symphony of robust smokiness, woodiness evocative of fresh sawdust, and a faint whisper of seaside breezes, leaving a delightfully dry and slightly tannic farewell. Bottled at a robust 61.6% ABV, this natural and unchill-filtered whisky is a true testament to the art of single cask maturation.
