Holyrood Embra 70cl Whisky

The second release of Holyrood single malt and the Edinburgh distillery's first release of peated whisky, this is Embra. It was aged in a combination of casks, predominately first-fill bourbon, some from peated quarter casks from Islay, as well as a small portion of virgin American oak. The interesting label design was based on a linocut inspired by images of St Leonard, the patron saint of barrel makers and also the distillery's location. See those hints of smoke coming from the hand? They imply ‘gifting’ or ‘releasing’. Maybe you should gift this whisky to someone deserving. Like yourself.
