This latest release, which is a collaboration with the Roca brothers, was inspired by the long-standing partners’ journey and exploration through an uncharted London, with the purpose of distilling its soul and capturing the unique essence, aroma and flavour of the city in an exceptional single malt whisky.
United by an insatiable curiosity, quest for knowledge and
dedication to mastery, The Macallan and the Roca brothers, owners of El Celler
de Can Roca in Spain, twice named Best Restaurant in the World, explore
different cultures and source inspiration for their own worlds of whisky-making
and gastronomy.
The Macallan Distil Your World series, is the next step in the brand’s long-standing partnership with the Roca brothers. They have previously worked together on a range of ventures, including The Macallan Edition No.2 which was inspired by the brothers’ distinctive and dynamic characters.
The Macallan Distil Your World: The London Edition, comes housed in a presentation box featuring a triangular engraving design to represent the map of London and red detailing inspired by the city’s red bricks.
Commenting on the launch, Steven Bremner, Whisky Maker at
The Macallan, said: “London is an international city, a melting pot of culture,
cuisine, architecture, and art and its rich heritage and myriad of cultures,
combined with a timeless spirit and an innovative nature, made it the ideal
playing field for this journey of mastery. It is not just about being there,
but about immersing yourself and dedicating time to understand what’s
underneath everything you see, and we are proud to have collaborated with the
Roca brothers on this exploration.”
He went onto say: “Like the London soul, our single malt
whisky, matured in its unique sherry seasoned oak casks, delivers rich
complexities, harmonious flavours, and vibrant aromas. This whisky is something
new – with London notes like curry or the sweetness of Earl Grey tea – but it
keeps The Macallan’s signature taste, and that’s the difficult part.”
Limited to 2,000 bottles, The Macallan Distil Your World:
The London Edition, will be available later this month from specialist retailers,
for a RRP of £2,630.00.
