Whisky

After the successful Newmakes, Holyrood Distillery Embra is the second single malt whisky from the Edinburgh distillery, which was founded in 2019. The distillery is experimenting with malt varieties, fermentation times and special casks inspired by the Scottish city's brewing heritage. This is also reflected in the glass bottles, reminiscent of beer bottles, in which the single malt is bottled. Embra is distilled from 56 per cent peated malt and matured three times in a combination of first fill bourbon barrels, Islay quarter casks and new American oak barrels. It is neither chill-filtered nor coloured.
