The Spirit of the East End: A Bold, Multicultural Rye Revolution


Forget what you think you know about London distilling. East London Liquor Company (ELLC) is on a mission to put Bow Wharf on the global whisky map, and their London Rye Whisky is the "stunning and functional" evidence of their success. Having received a "sleek and modern makeover for 2022," this spirit is a "vibrant" celebration of urban craft.


Crafted using a mash bill of rye and malted barley, this whisky is double pot distilled to ensure a "rich and thick" texture. The real magic, however, lies in its "spectacular" maturation. It is aged in a complex four-cask combination: regenerated oak, Hungarian oak, American oak, and even London brandy casks. This "bold statement" of a blend makes it "spectacularly balanced" for both neat sipping and "terrific cocktails."


The Four-Cask Finish: An Urban Masterpiece


ELLC London Rye is "engineered" for complexity, pulling influence from four distinct wood types:




  • Regenerated Oak: Provides an "exceptionally hard-wearing" foundation of "dry oak" and toasted notes.




  • Hungarian Oak: Adds a unique layer of "toasty spices" and a "sophisticated charm" that sets it apart from traditional American ryes.




  • American Oak: Imparts the classic "honey and vanilla" sweetness that rounds out the bold rye spice.




  • London Brandy Casks: A "vibrant" and local touch that brings "dried fruit" and a "smidge of floral sweetness" to the profile.




  • Bow Wharf Maturation: Distilled and aged in the heart of East London, this whisky captures the "personalized oasis" of the city's craft revival.

Official Tasting Notes

Prepare your palate for a "rich, oily, and expressive" journey through the bakeries and spice markets of London:

  • Nose: An "inviting" bouquet of "roasted nuts and dried fruit," underpinned by "toasty spices" and a distinctive, sharp "whiff of red chilli pepper."

  • Palate: A "full-bodied" entry featuring "apricot, black pepper, and honey." You’ll notice the "dry oak" providing structure as a "smidge of floral sweetness" begins to build.

  • Finish: A sophisticated and "lasting" conclusion that tastes of "rye bread with salted butter," with subtle "hints of citrus lingering" on the tongue.
