Renascence marks the new beginning of The London Distillery Company – and is the first chapter of our continuing story.
‘Renascence’, meaning the revival of something that has been dormant, is the first single malt whisky to be launched from the reborn The London Distillery Company. It celebrates our distillery’s legacy, whilst showcasing our bright new future.
This landmark London single malt whisky has been crafted entirely from Plumage Archer heritage barley and matured in both refill barrels and 1st fill sherry casks. Bottled at 58% ABV, it offers a richly layered, distinctive character that speaks to the past, present and future of London whisky making.
To create Renascence, our Whisky Maker has selected a sympathetic combination of the remaining ‘legacy casks’ that were produced and laid down during the distillery’s original operating period of 2011-2020. His goal throughout the whisky making process was to remain entirely faithful to the original spirit style produced by the company before its untimely closure. A style that sees heritage barley, 1920’s brewers’ yeast and traditional whisky production methods take centre stage – and results in a single malt that is unmistakably distinctive, deep and brimming with historical character.
The revival team, led by Matt McKay brings the same passion for traditional craftmanship as TLDC’s originators. Matt’s meticulous approach to whisky creation has ensured that Renascence has been produced with authentic character and heritage flavour at its heart. His guidance and vision have allowed us to once again be creating single malt whiskies of the highest quality, that embody the spirit of London – bold, creative, and uncompromising.
Renascence will be launched exclusively from Berry Bros. & Rudd on the 6th June 2025. Its arrival offers a landmark piece of London distilling history, and heralds the exciting return of The London Distillery Company.
The London Distillery Company has returned not only to complete an unfinished legacy, but to re-establish ourselves as a creative force in English whisky.
Alongside further London single malt whisky expressions which will be released over the coming months and years, we will also be celebrating the world-class craftmanship of the whiskies produced by England’s other remarkable distilleries.
