The Macallan, has revealed the latest addition to its Distil Your World series. The fourth release in this series, with the accompanying episode \u201creimagining spaces\u201d celebrates Hong Kong, a city constantly reinventing itself, sculpted by tradition, but headed towards the future.<\/p>\n


\nThe Macallan has collaborated with long-standing partner, the acclaimed Roca brothers, owners of El Celler de Can Roca, twice named the World\u2019s Best Restaurant. Together, Euan Kennedy, The Macallan Lead Whisky Maker and the Roca brothers embarked on a sensorial journey to distil the essence of Hong Kong. One that showed it to be a dynamic metropolis, rooted in resilience and evolving tenacity, into an extraordinary single malt whisky and a culinary experience that reflects its unique spirit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The resulting whisky is a testament to Hong Kong\u2019s complex nature of constant reinvention and fusion of tradition and modernity, and the meticulous craft and creativity that define The Macallan. This naturally dark exceptional single malt Scotch whisky features bold, foundational flavours of dried spices, characteristics drawn from selected Sherry seasoned European Oak hogsheads. These casks provide key flavours of ginger, cinnamon and echo other local spices discovered in the vibrant city\u2019s markets. Each layer contributes to a rich and multifaceted experience that mirrors the city’s dynamic nature.<\/p>\n

The Distil Your World series documents The Macallan and the Roca brother’s exploration into the many facets of iconic places across the world. Previous editions have explored the metropolis of art, creativity and talent in New York<\/a>, the embodiment of London<\/a>\u2019s unique essence and the people that define it and finally to Mexico<\/a> capturing the city\u2019s most joyful celebrations, the Day of the Dead.<\/p>\n

“Distil Your World brought us to Hong Kong, and we have distilled the city with extraordinary results. The creative process is where we have fun. That’s where the chaos is, where we are open to anything, where anything is possible and, no matter how crazy it may seem, it may be useful. Our culinary proposal is inspired by the deep-rooted traditions and different cultures of Hong Kong, while at the same time represents the modernity of the city.\u201d<\/em> Joan Roca<\/p>\n
