Iconic Scottish whiskey maker The Macallan has announced the launch of its newest addition to its highly-lauded Distil Your World Series, this time delivering an ultra-premium single malt whiskey that intends to capture the essence of New York City.
The new expression called Distil Your World New York was made in collaboration with the Roca brothers -- owners of the El Celler de Can Roca restaurant in New York City. The new offering is the fourth expression to be added to the brand's ever-growing Distil Your World Series, which offers top-shelf whiskeys formulated to evoke the feel and energy of a prominent international city.
"This project is a homage to the people of New York. The daring, creative and diverse characters we’ve met along the way... This whisky is bold, flavor vibrant and uplifting – just like each of them," said Polly Logan, The Macallan’s head whisky maker.
