Our New Make Spirit


Made By Edinburgh

We Test, Learn, Improve, Repeat
We are continually discovering more heritage barley varieties that were once part of Edinburgh’s rich brewing heritage and giving them a new purpose:
- Plumage Archer
- Chevalier
- Golden Promise
- Maris Otter
By introducing speciality malts into the distilling process we impart new and unique flavours to our spirits, with nearly all of them still used in brewing today:
- Chocolate Malt
- Crystal Malt (150:light/ 240: Medium/ 400:Dark)
- Brown Malt
- Vienna Malt
- Black Malt
- Biscuit Malt
- Light and Dark Munich Malt
- Amber Malt
- Caramalt
- Cara Gold
- Dextrin
- Chit

- Pinnacle M/MG+
- DY379
- DY502

FAQ's
New Make is the first stage of making whisky, and comes straight off of the still. It is unaged and so cannot legally be called Scotch Whisky, but it is the spirit that is put into our barrels for maturation, to become Holyrood’s future whisky. Our New Makes offer whisky drinkers the opportunity to experience how flavour is created before any cask influence.
