Holyrood Distillery stands as a landmark in central Edinburgh, heralding the revival of single malt production in the heart of the city, a tradition dormant since 1925. Nestled in the historic Old Town beneath the majestic Salisbury Crags, this distillery emerged in 2019, a vision realized by Canadian enthusiasts and Scotch Malt Whisky Society members, Rob and Kelly Carpenter, alongside the esteemed former Macallan master distiller, David Robertson.
Housed within a meticulously refurbished 'engine shed,' once an integral part of the terminus of the Innocent Railway, the distillery exudes an industrial charm, a testament to its heritage. Holyrood Distillery not only contributes to Edinburgh's burgeoning Scotch whisky renaissance but also boasts a distinguished portfolio of artisanal gins and rums, such as the celebrated Height of Arrows and Elizabeth Yard.
Beyond its renowned spirits, Holyrood tantalizes whisky aficionados with an array of new make spirits, each a testament to innovation and craftsmanship. From the indulgent Chocolate Malt to the intricate Brewer's X Distiller's Yeast, and the locally inspired Made By Edinburgh, and Crystal Malt editions, Holyrood Distillery invites connoisseurs to savor the essence of true craftsmanship.
