Holyrood Noir Burgundy Yeast [Official Bottling] Bottled 2025 - Ex-Bourbon Casks & Burgundy Barrique - 47.4% abv.
Holyrood distillery is known for its experimental mindset and flavour-first approach. They’ve just presented the Holyrood Noir trilogy: three whiskies made with wine yeasts from iconic regions, each matured in a corresponding cask.
Nose: intruiging. It’s vinous but there’s also a lovely hint of oak polish and even a volatile whiff of oil paint. Then hints of cinnamon and pomegranate syrup, as well as a little Kriek beer and raspberry jam. Blackberry tartlets. Subtle umami notes and nuts in the background too.
Mouth: again not your usual wine cask. There’s bright raspberry and blackcurrant at first, with a round vanilla note. Great onset, but mid-palate it becomes a bit more tangy, with clove and a brandy-like edge. Underneath there are malty notes and hints of toast.
Finish: medium, with lingering dark fruits and brown sugar.
Yes, this is a red wine cask, and there’s still this vinous side to it. But it may well be the first whisky from a red wine cask that I would considering buying. Now I like Pinot Noir and this has some of these elements – it’s fairly unique. Interesting series,
