The Macallan – Distil Your World London Edition

This is a limited edition single malt from The Macallan, and the first global release in a series made with the Roca brothers, owners of El Celler de Can Roca in Spain. The series sets out to capture the essence of a city, beginning with London. The whisky is a harvest sun colour and is built around orange caramel, curry spice and Earl Grey tea. On the nose there is nutmeg, sweet Earl Grey, orange caramel, lemongrass, kaffir lime, soy sauce and polished oak. The palate brings wood and curry spice, treacle sweetness and aniseed, with a slightly salty, umami feel. The finish is long, viscous and savoury.
