What you can expect

A modern distillery in the heart of historic Edinburgh, Holyrood Distillery is inspired by its surroundings, never afraid to experiment, and dedicated to shaping the spirit of tomorrow.

Your guided experience begins in our Lounge, where your guide will introduce you to the brewing and distilling heritage of Edinburgh. As you sip on a seasonal cocktail, learn about how our Distillery - the first single malt whisky producer in the city for almost 100 years - is pushing the boundaries of modern scotch production, and about our journey so far.

In our Spirits Lab and Gin Distillery, you’ll find our distillers busy researching, creating and perfecting our liquid. Learn about how we apply our whisky-making ethos to create our award-winning Height of Arrows Gin. Alongside a sample of our classic gin expression, your guide will illustrate the thought process behind our experimental approach to developing exciting flavour profiles using just 3 key ingredients.

Moving through to our whisky distillery floor, your group reaches the heart of our spirit production hub. Watch our washbacks foaming and our copper stills bubbling as your guide highlights the different stages of scotch whisky production. From heritage and speciality malts to alternative yeasts – find out more about what we do differently at Holyrood to create exciting and innovative flavours for our single malts.

Finish your tour in our Cask Room, evoking the traditional dunnage warehouse where our casks work their magic. Following a tutored tasting of our single malt whisky, delve deeper into our methods of flavour creation through our careful selection of seasoned oak barrels from around the world. Learn more about the wider scotch whisky industry and our place within the world of spirits, and challenge your perceptions towards whisky ageing, flavour and prestige with some myth-busting tips.
