Portrait: What makes the Height of Arrows special

The distillers at the Holyrood Distillery in Edinburgh are driven by a simple yet fascinating idea: With just a few, carefully selected ingredients, countless worlds of flavor can be created - just like in Whisky. So why not apply this principle to gin? The answer is: Height of Arrows.

This London Dry Gin deliberately breaks with the usual conventions of the category. Instead of relying on a multitude of botanicals, it focuses entirely on the essentials - the heart of every gin: the juniper.

Height of Arrows brings the multifaceted nature of the juniper berry into focus - with notes of fresh pine, vibrant citrus, and peppery spice. After distillation, salt from the Isle of Skye and fine beeswax provide a special depth of flavor and a pleasantly silky texture. The result is a complex, puristic gin for discerning connoisseurs.

Height of Arrows also sets a visual statement: The award-winning bottle design tells the story of the brand. Inspired by the striking slopes of Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh's local mountain, and the light lichens that cover it, it expresses the close connection to the surrounding nature and the origins of Holyrood Distillery.
