Embra is the second flagship release from Holyrood Distillery.

A gateway to the world of peated whisky, capturing classic bold smoky flavours and textures of  while still being accessible to a new whisky drinker.

“The mindset for Embra was to set the stage for an exploration into peated whisky. Edinburgh is the gateway to Scotland for many people and this is the idea at the heart of this spirit. We wanted to find the perfect balance of bold smoky flavours and textures of peated whisky while still being accessible to a new whisky drinker. When someone says they don’t like peated whisky, this is the whisky to hand to them. That doesn’t mean there isn’t something for the seasoned peated drinkers as we have all of the hallmark flavours and textures of a great whisky.”  Calum Rae, Distillery Manager
