Beschrijving
Holyrood Pitch marks the grand finale of the distillery’s Founding Series. Distinctive and daring, Pitch is crafted using 84% Scotch pot malt and 16% brown malt (common in dark porter beers), then fermented with rare red-wine yeasts—Pepe Nero and Toro Nero—typically reserved for red varietals. Finally, it’s matured in Oloroso hogsheads, pulling forward a warm, nutty richness.
49.4% ABV, non chill?filtered, no added colour or sugar
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich cacao and blackcurrant, honeyed sweetness with stewed red fruits and a hint of green pepper
Palate: Silky sweetness leads into coffee, raisins, spiced oak, and roasted nuts—think dark chocolate ganache with a phenolic kick
Finish: Long, mouth-coating with oak spice, tamarind?like sourness, and lingering nutty layers
Why It’s Special
Pitch is a true innovation in Scotch whisky, boldly exploring the influence of yeast on flavour in ways rarely seen. Praised by critics as “a fascinating turn into new flavour territory” and “compellingly different,” it earns strong praise for its originality and depth.
