A Carefully Considered Fermentation

The whisky begins with a carefully balanced fermentation using 60% Pinnacle M yeast and 40% Maurivin B yeast. Yeast plays an important part in shaping the spirit, helping to create the foundation for the flavours that develop throughout the whisky-making process.

By combining these two yeast strains, Holyrood creates a base spirit with a distinctive and complex character. This gives the whisky more depth than a straightforward malt, while keeping it approachable for both curious newcomers and experienced whisky fans. Every part of the process contributes to a bottle that feels considered, individual and full of interest.

Balanced Maturation in Bourbon and Burgundy Casks

After fermentation and distillation, the spirit is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and ex-Burgundy barriques. Each type of cask brings its own influence to the whisky, helping to build layers of character over time.

Ex-bourbon barrels are widely appreciated for adding a smooth, rounded quality to whisky, while ex-Burgundy barriques provide an opportunity for richer and more distinctive cask influence. Together, these casks create a balanced maturation style that allows the spirit to develop complexity without losing its individual identity.
