Distil Your World Hong Kong
The Macallan Lead Whisky Maker, Euan Kennedy, and the Roca brothers, owners of El Celler de Can Roca, went in search of the essence of the global city that has managed to re-imagine the possibilities of the public space, mixing ancient tradition with startling modernity.
Their deep dive into the heartbeat of this ever-evolving metropolis sparks the genesis of a truly exceptional whisky and a culinary adventure.
The whisky is inspired by the journey of Euan Kennedy, The Macallan Lead Whisky Maker, who has translated it into a unique whisky that captures the energy and complexity of the city. The menu draws inspiration from Joan Roca's immersion in the dynamic, cosmopolitan essence of Hong Kong, a city in perpetual evolution.
"This is a deeply personal whisky, inspired by my time with Joan Roca exploring HongKong. It is big and bold. I wanted to develop the idea of structure in this whisky, reflectiveof the building environment rising from the sea to the green peaks behind. To createcontrast within this whisky, in the same way Hong Kong is a city of contrast. A whiskywith many layers, to be returned to again and again to find more stories to tell, itsincredible complexity transporting you on a journey of flavour and memory."
