Holyrood Distillery is partnering with world-renowned Edinburgh cocktail bar Panda & Sons, at a weekend takeover where guests can also enjoy the distillery’s highly anticipated new gin, Height of Arrows.
The award-winning Panda team will take up a residency at the Edinburgh distillery’s bars on Friday 27th and Saturday 28th August and will serve up bespoke cocktails made from spirits including Holyrood’s newly released Height of Arrows gin, and their delicious new make spirit.
Holyrood’s Height of Arrows is a truly unique gin, made with a whisky maker’s philosophy from just 3 ingredients – 1 botanical and 2 modifiers. Height of Arrows is a translation of the gaelic name for Arthur’s Seat - Ard Na Said; not only representing the location of Holyrood Distillery in the shadow of Arthur’s Seat, but also a reflection of the ambition and vision of the team – quite literally aiming further to challenge distilling stereotypes.
By law, whisky must be matured in the cask for a minimum of three years. Holyrood Distillery’s new make spirit comes directly from the whisky still - before the cask maturation process - and tasting it at this stage gives a fascinating insight into the flavours imparted through distillation. The rare opportunity to taste the spirit in the Panda & Sons cocktails allows visitors a unique chance to experience something that will go onto become some of the first whisky to be produced in Edinburgh for 100 years.
The Panda & Sons cocktails will be available to both guests in Holyrood’s outdoor Courtyard Bar, as well as their indoor bar which enjoys fantastic views of Salisbury Crags. Evening guests will also enjoy the company and entertainment of legendary Edinburgh drag queen, Alice Rabbit, who will host the evening sessions with songs and conversation.
Winners of multiple awards and included on lists of the World’s Best Bars, Panda & Sons, opened its city centre bar in Edinburgh in 2013. Like Holyrood Distillery, it has developed a reputation in the drinks world for its experimental approach that pushes boundaries whilst supporting local flavours.
Advance booking is highly recommended and there is not cost. To reserve a table and for more information, visit www.holyrooddistillery.co.uk
Interactive experiences are also available at Holyrood Distillery, giving visitors the chance to tour the working distillery and learn about Holyrood’s innovative approach to whisky production.
The Holyrood Distillery Courtyard Bar is open throughout August and, in addition to cocktails, serves up its own spirits alongside drinks from carefully selected local independent brewers and distillers. Holyrood has also partnered with local restaurant Luxford, and independent coffee bar, Don’t Tell Mama.
The Courtyard Bar is dog-friendly and a relaxed and welcoming outdoor space to enjoy some of the city’s finest food and drink, just a stone’s throw from the Pleasance venue.
Holyrood Distillery, 19 St Leonard’s Lane, Edinburgh EH8 9SH.
Tel. 0131 285 8977.
