The first step on our new journey has been to assess the character and quality of the legacy casks of The London Distillery Company. These were distilled between the distillery’s founding in 2011 up to its untimely closure in 2020. And we’re exceptionally excited by what we’ve uncovered.
Whilst every cask of whisky tells a story of time and craftmanship, the legacy casks of The London Distillery Company are particularly reflective of the company’s founding ethos – emphasising the flavours of the highest quality barley and the nuances of traditional whisky making processes. Think, spirit-led, barley-centric, genuinely distinctive single malts and you’re on the right track.
In 2025, we’ll be shaping these remarkable legacy casks of The London Distillery Company into new single malt whiskies that reflect the craftsmanship, authenticity, and the bold vision that first defined us.
