Holyrood Arrival Inaugural Release

Arrival marks the beginning of a journey of progression, innovation and experimentation.

They take inspiration from craft brewers, to continuously create and release delicious and interesting whisky. Their mission is to challenge the norms and push the boundaries of Scotch whisky by not following the traditional approach of releasing age statements, nor focusing on the same flavour profile or relying on a core expression.

“Just as Edinburgh is made up of contrasting elements – modernity and heritage, old town and new town – Arrival brings sweet and spice together in a banging dram. On the nose, I get dried fruits and a sweetness, almost like butterscotch or sticky toffee pudding. Taking a sip, there’s digestive biscuit and ginger spice, with a wee savoury note.

The finish is mouth watering and for such a young whisky, there’s a surprising amount of complexity.” - Calum Rae, Distillery Manager
