Best Distillery in Edi to learn and taste - One of my favourite places in Edi when it comes to learning (and tasting). Quick tour where you learn a lot about whiskey and gin making and taste some of the products. Now when they have a proper (non New Make) stuff you can actually see what is the final product :).

Get tour with Lloyd! - We had a wonderful tour with Lloyd as our host. He was super knowledgeable and was passionate about whisky and the distillery. After the tour, we had a drink at the bar. We loved their gin and their cherry cask whisky and bought some bottles to take home.

Holyrood distillery is a... - Holyrood distillery is a great place to visit. Our terrific guide Brice walked us through the young distillery explaining Holyrood's approach and differentiators to making whisky and gin. A great way to spend an hour of your time in Edinburgh and learn a lot about the craft and uniqueness of this distillery. We enjoyed the visit very much!

Greatest guide, great tour, great distillery and good products. - The best ever distillery tour and I have taken a few. The guide Ezra where really funny and informative. Top notch. And I like the values of the distillery as an experimental one. The new take and solid gin ideas was great. True to the quality of the products and no cutting corners for profit. I wish the young distillery and its workers the best for the future!

Good Edinburgh Distillery Tour with Holyrood distillery. The host was very knowledgable and central location. - Great tour and the host was very knowledgable. As a seasoned tourer of distilleries I certainly learnt a few new things about whisky. The guide was very interactive and most of the team participated. We tasted one gin and one whisky which was a blend. We would have preferred tasting a single malt rather than a blend was the downside. Other than that it was enjoyable and as an Edinburgh resident, I will definitely be back!
