A Whisky Inspired by London

London is a diverse city with a rich history, and is one of the cultural and innovation centres of the world. 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, immersed themselves in London to explore different cultures and source inspiration for their own worlds of whisky-making and gastronomy.

With this sensory map of London as inspiration, Steven worked with the Roca brothers to masterfully select the perfect combination of six first-fill, European oak, Oloroso sherry-seasoned casks to translate London’s values into an extraordinary single malt, with unique tasting notes representing the spirit of the city.

Seeking out these distinctive flavours among thousands of casks was a complex and highly skilled process, but Steven Bremner and the Roca brothers’ mastery of flavour, aroma and craftsmanship enabled them to distil the essence of London into a remarkable whisky. Josep Roca, said: “The places we visited, the people we met, all that now takes shape in this whisky – our own distillation of the London essence. There is part of umami, the subtle touch of curry, orange, vanilla and raisin. There are some special notes that are really rare to find.”
