Holyrood Distillery

In 2019, Edinburgh opened its first new distillery in over a century. Located right by the Royal Mile in a historic engine shed, the Holyrood Distillery is all about challenging the status quo when it comes to this heritage craft. Boasting unusual tall stills, the distillery’s focus is on flavour, exploring how barley can yield a dazzling array of tastes, from the traditional smoky, floral, and peaty to more unusual variations with hints ranging from chocolate to coffee. Holyrood’s biggest innovation is its service which allows you to customise a cask with a master distiller. If your budget doesn’t stretch that far, settle for a tour, or treat yourself to two new spirits named ‘Charmed Circle’ (named after the ancient wells dotted around Arthur’s Seat). The city’s water is fused with two unique forms of barley, producing a signature spirit that perfectly encapsulates the distillery’s adventurous approach to whisky-making. This extends to the bottle labels made from 100% recyclable paper, which utilises waste from brewing.
