Ambir is the third flagship release from Holyrood Distillery.

"The mindset for Ambir was to create a deliciously sticky and sweet single malt expression, using our knowledge of specialty malts and yeasts. A harmonious balance of sweet malts, fruity yeasts, wrapped in a blanket of warming spicy vanilla from bourbon barrels." Holyrood Distillery

Reviews from Real Scotch Drinkers

From Whisky Advocate - 91 points

Ambir includes a variety of specialty malts including Highland peated, Vienna, chocolate and Crystal 240. It is sweet and fruity, with excellent balance. On the nose, there’s pineapple, vanilla ice cream and honeyed oats. The palate delivers cocoa powder, cantaloupe, and a whisper of smoked spice. The finish is warming, with gentle smoke and waves of dried fruit.

This Lowlands single malt from Edinburgh’s Holyrood Distillery has a fruity and floral nose, with touches of peaches, pears, garden herbs, honey, and vanilla. The taste is syrupy-thick with notes of white pepper, peaches, pear candies, and dried flowers. The finish is long with a kick of spice. Very nice! (December, 2024)
