Holyrood 5 years 2019 - 2025 #35 Fragrant Drops

Holyrood Distillery shows with this 5-year-old bottling that young and impressive can go together perfectly. This Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is fully matured in a Fresh Bourbon Barrel and bottled at a solid 57.6% alcohol. The result is a lively and characterful whisky that bubbles with energy. Only 256 bottles were taken from this cask, making this a rare opportunity to enjoy the sheer power and freshness of Edinburgh-based Holyrood Distillery.
