The Macallan has launched Distil Your World New York, a limited edition single malt whisky designed to capture the essence of one of the most iconic cities in the world.

Crafted by The Macallan Whisky Maker Polly Logan in collaboration with the Roca brothers, owners of El Celler de Can Roca, twice named Best Restaurant in the World, Distil Your World New York embodies and celebrates the city as a dynamic metropolis of art, creativity and visionary talent.

To uncover the personalities behind New York, Logan and Joan Roca traveled to the city to spend time with the artists who fuel its culture; the visionaries driving its creativity; and the thinkers chronicling the city. The journey and the remarkable figures they encountered during it, ranging from jazz musician Wynton Marsalis to fashion designer Daniel Silverstein, will be showcased in a 30-minute documentary which marks the fourth episode of the Distil Your World documentary series. The film will be released to YouTube for viewing.

Created from a combination of six European and American oak casks, the whisky reflects the distinctive artistic character of the city, its towering architecture, and the culinary eclecticism offered by its delis, diners and street food.

Distil Your World New York is presented in a white presentation box featuring an engraved aerial map of New York. Touches of blue on the box and bottle represent the water that surrounds the city and the buildings which reach into the sky. In addition to the limited edition whisky, the box contains a book showcasing the different inspirations behind this single malt alongside rich New York photography.

The Macallan Distil Your World New York is a limited-edition release of 1,000 bottles and will be available for an SRP of $4,200 for the 70cl bottle and $4,500 for the 75cl version at select The Macallan Boutiques around the world, in premium specialist retailers and in exclusive premium non-specialist retailers.
