On the palate, it reveals itself to be buttery and creamy—almost like fine pastry—accompanied by an elegant salinity and a delicate vanilla sweetness. It offers a profile reminiscent of dessert, yet never feels heavy. Bottled as a limited release of just 170 bottles at a robust 59.1% ABV—naturally uncolored and non-chill-filtered.

]]> Holyrood Embra Peated – 43,6% https://www.whizita.de/en/product/holyrood-embra-peated-436/ Tue, 23 Apr 2024 13:21:38 +0000 https://www.whizita.de/?post_type=product&p=160577 Embra is Holyrood's second release. The single malt will appeal to “peatheads” – and it is also the answer for everyone who has not yet drunk peat whiskey.
It does capture the classic, strong smoke flavors and textures. Balanced with chocolate, cookies and light fruits, it is particularly accessible to new whiskey drinkers.
Embra was distilled from 56 percent peat malt and matured three times in a combination of first fill bourbon barrels, Islay quarter casks and New American oak barrels.
Named after a slang term for Edinburgh, Embra features an illustrative design inspired by images of Saint Leonard. Because: Holyrood is not just on St. Leonard's Lane in Edinburgh's Southside. St. Leonard was also the patron saint of barrel makers.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Lemon peel, horse chestnut, with hints of peppermint and light hickory smoke.
Palate: Wafer cookies, dark chocolate mousse and notes of earthy Highland peat smoke.
Aftertaste: Pear compote with a round, clean finish.

]]> Something new is brewing in Edinburgh’s Old Town: founded in 2019, Holyrood Distillery is bringing single-malt production back to Scotland’s hilly capital after more than 100 years. Inspired, but not dictated by the past, Holyrood combines traditional craftsmanship with bold, new ideas for flavour – a promising combination that has already been recognised with the award for “Icons of Whisky Scotland – Craft Producer of the Year 2022”.

Holyrood is exploring new horizons in whisky production by experimenting with malt varieties, fermentation and special casks – inspired by Edinburgh’s rich brewing heritage.

]]> The smallest Rhum Agricole distillery in Martinique is located at the foot of the Montagne Pelée, on volcanic, fertile soil. Rhum J.M is the only Martinican rum producer who grows 100 percent of its own sugar cane. Due to the humid and at the same time growth-promoting microclimate of the small Antilles island, it has a high sugar content. Just one hour after harvesting, the plant is pressed to make Rhum Agricole from its juice.

Karine Lassalle supervises the production. Since 2017, the specialist has been responsible for the maturing Rhum Agricole as a quality manager and cellar master at Rhum J.M – and the development of new products. Such as the series “L’Atelier des Rhums”. The rums with extraordinary aroma profiles are the result of Lassalle’s talent for barrels as well as her willingness to experiment with sugar cane juices, heating techniques, types of wood and barrel volumes.
