East London Liquor Company London Rye Whisky

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.
