Holyrood Distillery was established in 2019 in the center of Edinburgh's Old Town, just steps from the Royal Mile, with an innovative approach to distilling, inspired by Edinburgh's rich brewing history.
They recently released their first Single expression Malt called “Arrival”, which embodies their history so far as whiskey makers and marks the beginning of a journey of progression, innovation and experimentation.

Known as 'The Craft Distillery', it is located in the center of vibrant Tobermory, the capital and until 1973 the only town on the Isle of Mull in Scotland's Inner Hebrides.
They developed a unique and expressive style of Hebridean whiskey, producing Tobermory unpeated whiskey and Ledaig peated whiskey, both Single Malts, and Tobermory Gin.
Tobermory Single Malt is distilled from unpeated malted barley and matured in oak casks for at least ten years.
A heavily peated whiskey is also produced, but in small quantities, called Ledaig after the original name of the distillery.
The name Tobermory is derived from the Gaelic Tobar Mhoire, meaning "Mary's well", in reference to to a well located nearby that was dedicated in ancient times to the Virgin Mary.

El whisky escocés de malta única está indisolublemente ligado a su lugar de origen, quizás más que cualquier otro producto.
El agua, la tierra, el clima, todos influyen en el carácter del whisky.
Todos estos factores también son de vital importancia a la hora de planificar una nueva destilería.
Después de una restauración y construcción de 4 años, Torabhaig es una destilería de whisky escocés de malta única en pleno funcionamiento desde enero de 2017, la segunda en la Isla de Skye.

Inspired by a photograph by @soctchwhiskycom about @tamnavulinwhisky
The name Tamnavulin is the Gaelic translation of "mill on the hill", and owes its name in part to the historic old carding mill that stands on the site of the distillery.
Local farmers brought their sheep fleeces here in the summer months to turn them into wool.
The story of Tamnavulin began in 1966 with the opening of the distillery in the rural village of Tomnavoulin, Scotland.
Although the doors were closed in 1995, they reopened in 2007 following a major refurbishment of the distillery.
Since then they have produced an exceptional single malt whiskey with true Speyside character; rich, soft and honeyed.
