Holyrood Distillery’s Final Cask Offer: A Chance to Own a Piece of History

As a whisky enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for unique opportunities to experience the best of the best. That’s why I’m excited to share the news that Holyrood Distillery is offering members of the public the chance to buy a cask of whisky for the last time this week. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history, and I’m not just talking about the whisky itself.

The urban distillery in the heart of Edinburgh

Holyrood Distillery, which opened its doors in 2019, has been making waves in the whisky world with its innovative approach to spirit production. Founded by Canadian couple Rob and Kelly Carpenter, along with Scot David Robertson, the distillery has a vision to create a new kind of whisky that reflects the dynamism and diversity of present-day Edinburgh.

The brand portfolio now includes multi-award-winning gin and rum ranges, a collection of new make spirits, and, since October 2023, its inaugural single malt, Arrival, one of the first single malt whiskies produced in Edinburgh in a century.

The Final Cask Offer

This week, Holyrood Distillery is offering two new recipes, specially selected by Distillery Manager Calum Rae, to showcase the full range of malts used in the past at Holyrood. Recipe one takes their Golden Promise heritage malt and combines it with Highland peated malt, while recipe two uses traditional Pot Still malt in conjunction with two specialty malts; Cara and Chocolate.

“This is the final chance to be part of our cask programme journey. We’ve created two new recipes to complement our existing portfolio.” - Calum Rae

I’m particularly excited about the opportunity to own a cask of whisky that has been carefully crafted by the experts at Holyrood Distillery. The fact that these casks are the last of their kind makes it an even more special opportunity.

Awards and Accolades

Earlier this month, Holyrood Distillery won Gold for Embra and Silver for Elizabeth Yard Sherry Cask at the International Wine and Spirits Competition (IWSC), the world’s largest spirits awards. This is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team at Holyrood Distillery.

Conclusion

If you’re a whisky enthusiast like me, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to own a piece of history. The final cask offer from Holyrood Distillery is a chance to experience the best of the best, and I’m confident that these whiskies will only appreciate in value over time.
