The exclusive import agreement with Florida-based importer Sacks Dynamic Operations (SDO) will see Holyrood Distillery’s whiskies brought to the USA market through a network of select retail stores across the country and SDO’s online marketplace ScotchDrinkersOnly.com.

Speaking about the agreement, Howard Sacks, co-founder of SDO, said: “We are thrilled to add Holyrood Distillery to our import portfolio.

“As a passionate advocate for premium scotch whisky, I am incredibly excited to share these meticulously crafted whiskies with American connoisseurs. Holyrood’s unique and experimental approach to scotch whisky is the perfect fit for Sacks Dynamic Operations, who seeks out whisky industry pioneers.

“With its exploratory and innovative mash bills, diverse yeasts, and exciting casks, Holyrood is truly one of the most interesting new distilleries in whisky. Bringing these remarkable spirits to the US is a milestone we eagerly celebrate, and we look forward to raising a glass with all our customers and alliances to toast this exciting new chapter.”

Giancarlo Bianchi, sales director at Holyrood Distillery, added: “At Holyrood Distillery we have been on a journey since our inception to break the mould of contemporary and conventional single malt scotch whisky production by developing a wide variety of malted barley spirits for wood maturation.

“Sacks Dynamic Operations is the ideal import and distribution partner for Holyrood Distillery in the USA as they understand our goal of reaching new flavour destinations in a spirit category which might mistakenly be thought to be stagnant and bereft of innovation.

“It is exciting to know that, thanks to Howard & Melissa Sacks, Holyrood Distillery single malt scotch whisky is now available to USA consumers at Scotch Drinkers Only.”
