📖

Full description

Holyrood Distillery's tour pairs Edinburgh's brewing heritage with a look at modern distilling. A welcome cocktail opens the session, followed by visits to the gin laboratory and the whisky production areas, where the team explains experiments with malts and yeast.

The visit closes in the cask room with a tasting and a discussion of oak, ageing and flavour. Reviewers value the clear explanations and behind-the-scenes access, with the gin singled out.

The tone is contemporary rather than the traditional Scotch ambience some visitors expect.
