Product description

Product description
Holyrood Distillery Ambir is made from seven sweet (speciality) malts and ten fruity yeasts. The distillery is experimenting with malt types, fermentation times and special barrels that are inspired by the brewing heritage of the Scottish town. This is also reflected in the glass bottles, reminiscent of beer bottles, in which the Single Malt is bottled. The Ambir whisky is matured in a combination of first fill Bourbon barrels (89.7%) and Oloroso sherry casks (10.3%). It is neither chill-filtered nor coloured.

    Aroma: milde Eiche, Karamell, fruchtig, Kräuternote

    Geschmack: würzig, Eiche, etwas Trockenfrüchte, dunkle Beeren, knappe Süße

    Abgang:

    Kommentar: Für diesen kräftigen “Lowlander“ musst du Eiche mögen.
    Mir war es etwas zu viel und ich habe leicht verdünnt.
    Danach gefiel er mir deutlich besser!
