The Holyrood Distillery NOIR Premier Cru Yeast Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 47.2% vol., 0.7 l, is a modern single malt Scotch whisky from the Lowlands region that impressively reflects the innovative philosophy of the young Holyrood Distillery in Edinburgh. The distillery is known for its experimental approach to whisky production and deliberately draws on creative influences in fermentation, yeast strains and cask maturation to create new flavour profiles. At the heart of this bottling is a special Premier Cru wine yeast, as used in the production of high-quality French wines. This special yeast influences the eventual aroma as early as the fermentation stage and lends the Holyrood NOIR Premier Cru Yeast Single Malt Scotch Whisky an elegant, fruity and finely structured character.

This bottling forms part of the innovative NOIR trilogy, in which French wine yeasts meet Scottish barley malt before the whisky is traditionally matured in fine wine casks from renowned wine regions. Maturation takes place in a combination of bourbon casks, Chardonnay casks and other white wine casks, resulting in a particularly complex and elegant flavour profile. Aromatically, this Lowlands Single Malt Scotch Whisky is reminiscent of fine French patisserie, with notes of tarte tatin, toffee, butter caramel and ripe pear. The whisky is bottled at 47.2% ABV and is non-chill-filtered, ensuring that its structure, aromatic richness and character are fully preserved.
