our story
For the first time since 1925, there's now a single malt whisky distillery in the centre of Edinburgh - that's us!
The brainchild of Canadians Rob & Kelly Carpenter, and Scot David Robertson, Holyrood Distillery is distinctively different.
From the spirits we create to our unique visitor experience inside our 180 year old railway goods shed-turned-distillery, everything we do focuses on creating amazing flavours that delight taste buds.
We believe that whisky and gin should be fun, so while we’re serious about making great tasting spirits, we’re not so serious about ourselves...
Visit us and experience a distillery unlike any other.
OWn a cask of whisky
Create your own bespoke whisky with our Custom Cask Programme.
With a limited run of casks, we’re offering the widest breadth of flavour of any distillery in the country, as well as a unique fully customisable option.
Take the reins and create a unique whisky tailored exactly to your flavour preference.
Courtyard Bar
Alongside Pizza Geeks and Innis & Gunn, we’ve transformed the courtyard of our Distillery into an amazing outdoor bar full of flavour focused-food and drink with plentiful seating.
Thursday - Sunday, 12noon until 9pm.
OUR SHOP
Find your flavour and pick up gin, whisky and liqueurs on our online shop.
Drop by our distillery and you’ll also find a selection of spirit-related merchandise including glassware, clothing, books, prints, gifts and souvenirs.
Our Distillery Tours
Unfortunately, due to the escalating situation in respect of mitigating against Covid-19, we've been forced to take the decision to suspend tours, events and experiences at Holyrood Distillery.
All tours will cease at the end of the day on Tuesday 17th March, until further notice.
