Holyrood Ambir

Holyrood Ambir
In stock
Holyrood Ambir shows a different side of Lowland single malt, built around malt choice and fermentation rather than a conventional age statement. After exploring gentle peat with Embra, Ambir turns towards special malt varieties and a broad range of yeasts in the mash bills. Its name is Scots for amber, fitting for a whisky created with a soft, sweet style in mind.
The maturation is based largely on bourbon casks, with a smaller contribution from oloroso sherry casks. That brings spicy vanilla, warm sweetness and fruit into the picture, while still leaving room for the character of the malt and yeast to speak. Bottled at 49.8% and without chill filtration, it has enough weight to feel expressive in the glass.

Holyrood Embra
In stock
Holyrood Embra is a fine example of how adventurous this Lowland distillery can be. Rather than relying on a single conventional recipe, Holyrood builds flavour through a layered mashbill of heavily peated malt, distilling malt and a small touch of chocolate malt, supported by a mix of yeasts. Even Belgian Ale yeast appears in the production scheme, a detail that says a lot about the distillery's willingness to explore.
The maturation adds another layer to that idea. First Fill Bourbon, Peated Islay Quarters and a portion of new American oak each play a role, bringing together cask sweetness, gentle wood spice and a measured smoky accent. Bottled at 43.6% and without an age statement, Embra puts the focus on recipe, fermentation and cask choice rather than on age alone.
Holyrood Noir Bordeaux

Holyrood Noir Bordeaux
In stock
Holyrood Noir Bordeaux takes Lowland single malt in a darker, wine-influenced direction. Its finish in red Bordeaux wine casks gives the whisky its deeper fruit character, while the malt-driven structure of Holyrood remains clearly present underneath.
The charm here lies in the way ripe fruit, gentle spice and richer notes come together. The Bordeaux finish brings red and dark fruit to the front, supported by touches of cocoa and light oak rather than smoke or coastal salinity.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of Scottish single malt we would point out to someone looking for a whisky with a clear red wine cask influence, but still with a rounded, composed character. It has a generous feel, yet the fruit and floral side keep it lively.
Holyrood Noir Burgundy

Holyrood Noir Burgundy
In stock
Holyrood Noir Burgundy is a Scottish Lowland single malt shaped by a Burgundy wine cask finish. The cask influence gives the whisky a refined direction, drawing out fresh red fruit, floral touches and a subtle mineral lift.
Rather than leaning on smoke or weight, this release is built around finesse. The fruit remains delicate, the spice is clearly present, and the floral side gives it a graceful, aromatic feel.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this as a compelling choice for drinkers looking for a single malt with wine-cask influence that stays poised and expressive. Its 47.4% strength gives the whisky enough presence to carry those red-fruit and floral notes with clarity.
The aroma opens with red berries and raspberry, followed by rose petals (…)Holyrood Noir Premier Cru

Holyrood Noir Premier Cru
In stock
Holyrood Noir Premier Cru is a Lowland Scotch single malt with a clear wine-cask accent. The word Noir feels well chosen here, because the whisky moves into darker territory: black plum, cherry and chocolate give it depth rather than simple sweetness.
The Chardonnay Finish adds a soft vinous layer while leaving the single malt character intact. It comes across as full and velvety, with fruit, gentle spice and a restrained touch of wood supporting the richer notes.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of bottle we would point out to someone looking for a Lowland malt with extra roundness and darker flavour. It is not peated or salty in style; the focus is on fruit, chocolate and elegant wine accents.
The aroma brings black plum, Amarena (…)Holyrood Pitch

Holyrood Pitch
In stock
Holyrood Pitch is a Lowland single malt from Scotland with a clearly adventurous way of building flavour. Rather than relying only on cask influence, Holyrood starts the story much earlier, with Scotch Pot Still Malt and Brown Malt, the latter traditionally associated with dark porters. That choice gives the whisky a distinctive foundation before the cask even enters the conversation.
Fermentation adds another layer. Pepe Nero and Toro Nero, two yeast strains more commonly linked to red wine production, are used here to create an unusual aromatic depth. The Oloroso hogshead finish then brings in nutty tones and dried fruit, sitting naturally alongside the whisky's fruit-driven and spiced character.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of bottle we like (…)Holyrood Smoulder

Holyrood Smoulder
In stock
Holyrood Smoulder shows the Edinburgh distillery's experimental side in a very direct way. This Lowland single malt is not built around peat alone; it brings together different malts, yeasts and cask types to create a whisky that develops gradually in the glass.
A substantial proportion of heavily peated malt sits alongside Scotch pot still malt, Plumage Archer and brown malt. The cask make-up is led mainly by First Fill Bourbon Barrels, supported by ex-Rum Barriques and Oloroso Octaves. At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see Smoulder as a whisky for drinkers who enjoy seeing how composition and detail can shape the final character.
Its name is well chosen. The whisky begins with a more refined, floral and earthy side, before the smoke slowly becomes more (…)
