Holyrood Noir Bordeaux Yeast [Official Bottling] Bottled 2025 - Ex-Bourbon Casks & Bordeaux Red Wine Barriques - 47.1% 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: sweet and candied, on strawberry jam and pomegrenate juice. Then soft blackcurrants, before the acidity shines through, moving towards lemons and cranberries with a yoghurty edge. A light woody touch as well. Simple but not unpleasant.
Mouth: still a lot of these red berries (cherries stand out), as well as red apples. Then some cinnamon, a light herbal note and clove oil. The unavoidable vinous touch is easy to note, but we’ve had examples that were far less balanced. Hints of toffee and orange cake, along with honey coated breakfast cereals.
Finish: not very long, with toffee notes and some drying oaky warmth in the end.
Are we really getting some yeast influence here, or is it mostly the cask doing the talking? I would definitely say the cask, and this particular wine maturation feels like a dime a dozen.
