Holyrood Distillery's Height of Arrows Gin was awarded World's Best Matured Gin at the World Gin Awards for their Heavy Barrel Aged Pedro Ximenez Cask at the Icons of Gin, World Gin Awards and Gin Magazine Hall of Fame 2023 ceremony in London.
The World Gin Awards aim to recognise the best people, places and products in the world of gin as voted on by an expert panel of judges. This follows Height of Arrows Gin taking home the crown for Scotland Country Winner Classic Gin and Heavy Gin winning Scotland Country Winner Old Tom Gin at the World Gin Awards. The flurry of awards has reignited the excitement around this innovative distillery's release of their inaugural whisky later this year.
Nick Ravenhall, Managing Director at Holyrood Distillery, said: "The true spirit of Holyrood Distillery is the people, place and of course, our liquids. After a successful 2022 with our Distillery Manager, Marc Watson, taking home the prize for Distillery Manager of the Year at the Icons of Whisky Scotland; Height of Arrows Gin winning Best New Product of the Year at the Scottish Gin Awards and our Elizabeth Yard Rum South Pacific taking the Spirit Gold Outstanding, Rum Trophy at IWSC; 2023 is off to a great start at the World Gin Awards. We believe the best is yet to come and look forward to revealing one of the first whiskies distilled in Edinburgh city centre later this year."
Holyrood Distillery was established in 2019, an urban distillery at the heart of Edinburgh's historic old town. Marrying craft traditions from both brewing and distilling, and bold new approaches to flavour, Holyrood Distillery is dedicated to delivering spirits that are truly worthy of Scotland's capital city and its proud past as a centre of brewing and distilling.
Their range includes New Make Spirit, which showcases their whisky vision and enables whisky drinkers to fully appreciate spirit before it enters a cask; Charmed Circle which offers a new take on vodka using heritage barley, their multi-award winning Height of Arrows Gin and Elizabeth Yard Rum.
Holyrood Distillery recently added Height of Arrows' Gin Tasting Experience to their range of tours. Guests are invited to explore the Height of Arrows gin range, learn about the processes and inspiration behind the multi-award-winning gin in the distillery lab; and make, shake and serve their own Southside cocktail.
