This latest collaboration between The Macallan and The Roca brothers, is said to reflect the distinctive artistic character of New York; its towering architecture and the culinary eclecticism offered by its delis, diners and street food.
Created by The Macallan Whisky Maker Polly Logan, Distil
Your World New York, delivers notes of apple, peanut brittle, milk chocolate, rising
dough, fresh rain and cherry blossom on the nose. Followed by notes of baked
apple, raisin, chocolate covered nuts, maple syrup, toasted waffles and salted
pecans on the palate.
To uncover the mastery behind New York, Polly and Joan Roca
travelled to the city to spend time with the artists who fuel its vibrant
culture; the visionaries driving its inimitable creativity and the thinkers
chronicling the city.
Their journey and the people they encountered, including
globally acclaimed jazz musician Wynton Marsalis and legendary street artist
Lady Pink, are featured in a new 30-minute documentary which premiered in New
York before its release on Amazon Prime Video and YouTube in April 2022.
Commenting on the launch, Polly Logan, said: “This project
is a homage to the people of New York. The daring, creative and diverse
characters we’ve met along the way. This whisky is bold, vibrant and uplifting
– just like each of them. We really looked towards the quintessential tastes of
New York – sweet candy, waffles, peanut brittle, chocolate, and pecans. The
city’s thriving street food scene was a great source of inspiration.”
The Macallan - Distil Your World New York, will be available
later this month from select Macallan Boutiques, for a RRP of $4,200 – 70cl and
$4,500 – 75cl.
