Leith brewery, Pilot, has created a new spirit which is a distillation of it’s best-selling beer, Peach Melba Sour.
The product is the first venture into the spirits market for the brewery, who, with the help of the team at Holyrood Distillery, distilled the new Peach Melba Spirit Drink.
Matt Johnson from Pilot Beer, said, “We’ve been planning this for a while. We wanted to create something special and as Peach Melba Sour is one of our most popular beers, we thought it would be really interesting to spread our wings a bit and create a spirit that captures the essence of the original beer.
Matt continued. “It has been a labour of love, but we’ve really created something a bit special that absolutely encompasses Pilot’s ethos of fun. Everything we do is fun. What’s the point, otherwise? The team at Holyrood Distillery have made this project an absolute pleasure to work on and we’re really looking forward to seeing what else we can cook up with them.”
“The drinks market is a fast-moving one. We must adapt to customers’ ever-changing tastes, without losing focus on our core brand. Two local companies working together is good for the industry, the city and ultimately it provides more choice for our customers.”
