Holyrood Distillery celebrated its fifth birthday with the launch of this single malt whisky, Ambir. It follows Holyrood Distillery’s sold-out inaugural whisky, Arrival and its peated whisky, Embra.
Through each of its limited releases, the Edinburgh whisky maker wants to showcase a different flavour profile or style and Ambir is a showcase of specialty malts like Crystal 240 and Caramalt. It was bottled at 49.8% ABV, non-chill filtered and with no artificial colour.
The name, Ambir, comes from the rich, amber colour of the liquid, adding a Scots twist to reflect this relationship between old and new to symbolise how Holyrood incorporates traditional practices with modern thinking.
Caramel creamy fudge, demerara sugar, Scottish tablet.
Red fruits, vanilla and cornflakes.
Biscuit velvet texture, mouth-watering, a hint of savoury at the end.
