Blending whisky is a philosophy. It’s creativity, community and collaboration. It’s the meeting point of discovery and captivation. It’s about bringing together diverse ideas, people and passions to create something far profounder.
The Golden Union is The London Distillery Company’s tribute to the vibrant and rapidly evolving world of English whisky. This ongoing series of blended malt whiskies is designed to showcase the diversity, depth, and creativity emerging from England’s growing community of whisky producers.
Crafted with purpose and precision, each release in The Golden Union brings together malt whiskies from different English distilleries — highlighting the unique character of each component whilst creating something greater than the sum of its parts.
With over 50 active distilleries now producing whisky across England, the landscape of English whisky has never been more exciting — or more varied. From the coastlines of Cornwall to the northern hills of Yorkshire, English whisky is developing its own identity: bold, experimental, and unbound by convention.
The Golden Union harnesses this rich diversity to explore new possibilities in English whisky. Each edition will feature a different combination of distilleries, casks, and flavour profiles — offering whisky lovers a journey through the full spectrum of English whisky styles.
50% vol – £49.95
The first release unites malt whiskies from Adnams Distillery and The London Distillery Company, matured in a combination of hogsheads and barrels. It is a bold introduction – a marriage of heritage, innovation, and spirit character.
Nose: Creamy toffee and buttery corn join breakfast cereals and meringue, whilst earthiness sits alongside expressive waxed lemons.
Palate: Mouthcoating with vibrant citrus and developing tropical fruits – preserved lemons and ripening mango. White pepper cask spicing gives way to milk chocolate, oats and buttered toast.
Finish: A prolonged finish of zesty lemons and tingling cask char.
This milestone new release will be available from the 30th June.
