Fancy Investing in Whisky? Holyrood Cask Programme 2022 – Whisky Shop News
Fancy investing in a whisky cask?
Holyrood is an exciting new distillery in the heart of Edinburgh. Auld Reekie has turned out to be a particular inspiration and is represented in their two smoky expressions. Through their cask programme, you can purchase a cask of heavily peated or lightly peated spirit, allowing you to make your own mark on Scotland’s whisky industry. W Club members receive a £250 discount until the end of August so join the club now.
Cask programmes can make for excellent investment opportunities. If you decide to sell on the whisky from your cask, you could be making yourself quite the profit! Alternatively, you could pitch in on a cask with a group of friends or fellow whisky enthusiasts. Even if you don’t decide to sell on the whisky from your cask, you have a whisky of your very own to enjoy with family and friends.
If you are keen to find out more, you can check out Holyrood’s website here and read all about their cask programmes. If they sound right up your street, you can register your interest via our form below.
Holyrood Distillery
Lightly Peated Cask
Aged in a lightly toasted port wood, the lightly peated cask makes for a beautiful subtly smoked malt. The cask is filled with a combination of heavy peated malt and Rauch malt to create the smoky flavours, and East Lothian malt and Caramalt to add a sweeter note to the spirit. Edinburgh Ale yeast is used to create refreshing citrus flavours in the expression which wonderfully balance the more powerful smoky notes. The single malt will then spend ten years maturing in a 225 litre lightly toasted first fill port barrique.

Holyrood Distillery
Heavily Peated Cask
The heavily peated expression is a true smoke bomb. It is made from 50% Islay peated malt, 38% Maris Otter, and 12% Amber malt which adds some sweetness to the smoke from the Islay malt. Some beer yeast is added to draw in citrus flavours, as well as Kviek yeast which is used in Norwegian Ales. The expression is then poured into a 250 litre Spanish sherry hogshead of your choice – either first fill Pedro Ximenez sherry or first fill Cream sherry – before a ten-year maturation.
