Holyrood Ambir 49,8%

Edinburgh’s Holyrood Distillery draws on the rich brewing heritage of its home city to create complex whiskies. For the range of flavors of its traditionally produced single malts, the craft distillery relies on the same ingredients as the infinitely diverse beer category: a wide variety of malt and yeast varieties.

Seven sweet (special) malts and ten fruity yeasts form the flavor foundation of the latest Ambir bottling. Named after the Scottish word for amber, the pure and luscious Ambir is the whisky of choice for all those with a sweet tooth. Caramel, fudge, red fruits and vanilla characterize the character of the dessert malt. This is rounded off in bourbon and a small proportion of sherry casks.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Caramel, creamy fudge, Demerara sugar, Scottish Tablet (sweets made from sugar, milk and butter).
Palate: Red fruits, vanilla, cornflakes.
Aftertaste: Biscuit-like notes with a velvety texture, hints of savory in the finish.
