Holyrood Embra Single Malt Whisky

The mindset for Embra was to create a whisky that resembled a gateway to the world of peated whisky. Embra has been triple matured in a combination of first fill bourbon barrels, Islay quarter casks, and New American oak barrels. Edinburgh is the gateway to Scotland for many people and this is the idea at the heart of this spirit. EMBRA finds the perfect balance between capturing the classic bold smoky flavours and textures of peated whisky while remaining accessible to a new whisky drinker. When someone says they don’t like peated whisky, give them this. For the seasoned peated drinkers, Embra has all of the hallmark flavours and textures of a great lightly peated whisky.
