Join us for our classic tour - the perfect introduction to Holyrood Distillery!

Sip on a seasonal cocktail as your guide welcomes you to the distillery. Let us introduce you to our story as we put Edinburgh back onto the whisky map as the city’s first single malt distillery for over a hundred years.

Alongside a sample of our classic expression, learn about how we apply our whisky-making ethos to create our award-winning Height of Arrows Gin with just 3 ingredients.

In our whisky distillery, watch our washbacks foaming and our copper stills bubbling as your guide highlights the different stages of scotch production. From heritage and speciality malts to alternative yeasts, find out more about what we do differently to create exciting and innovative flavours for our single malts.

Following a tutored tasting of our single malt whisky, delve deeper into our methods of flavour creation through our careful selection of seasoned oak barrels from around the world.

    Holyrood distillery is a great place to visit. Our terrific guide Brice walked us through the young distillery explaining Holyrood's approach and differentiators to making whisky and gin. A great way to spend an hour of your time in Edinburgh and learn a lot about the craft and uniqueness of this distillery. We enjoyed the visit very much!
