Holyrood Embra Single Malt Scotch
$108.99
The second release of Holyrood whisky to come to Canada is Embra, a peated single malt created from spirit matured primarily in First Fill ex-Bourbon, but also peated quarter casks, and new American oak. Embra is slang for Edinburgh, also a nod to the peated nature of the spirit. 43.6%, un-chillfiltered. ETA July/August 2024
Producer Description
"Edinburgh is the gateway to Scotland for many people and this is the idea at the heart of this spirit. The aim was to find that perfect balance between capturing the classic 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, give them this. 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 peated whisky."
Old Pulteney Pineau des Charantes
$139.99
Part of what Old Pulteney calls The Coastal Series, this whisky started its life in American Oak casks before a period of finishing in ex-Pineau des Charantes casks. Pineau des Charantes is a fortified wine made by blending Cognac with fresh grape juice or lightly fermented grape must.
The Old Pulteney Pineau des Charantes is bottled at 46%.
Producer Description
"Each cask in our Coastal Series breathes sea air, leaving traces of its own distinctive maritime location. Old Pulteney Pineau des Charentes is created by maturing our spirit by the Caithness Coast in American oak casks, then transferring them to ex-Pineau des Charentes casks, handcrafted using French oak. The result is a sweet, rich single malt that celebrates a shared coastal connection – bursting with flavours of dried fruits and a subtle saltiness that’s shaped by the sea."
