A lively blended malt from East London Liquor Company that pulls together the distillery’s own peated, unpeated, and rye-driven spirits with a Scottish single malt partner in Loch Lomond. The whisky leans into the quirks of London’s famously hard water by slow fermenting with characterful brewing yeasts to build a spirit with personality. Head of whisky Sam Garbutt created the blend itself in collaboration with John Glaser of Compass Box.
Here's the full blend breakdown:
- Loch Lomond swan neck refill Cask 5yo 49.5%
- Loch Lomond straight neck high cut refill cask 3yo 19.5%

Chocolate-dipped strawberries and cherry blossom drift in first, followed by a lick of peat reminiscent of a neighbour’s fire pit.
Rum and raisin richness with white peach, dried banana, and a subtle rye snap running underneath.
Honey flapjack and golden syrup with a gentle, passing wisp of smoke.
