Yesteryear Tasting Notes

Nose: Seville oranges join sugar-coated red berries, while clove and cinnamon mingle with rich toffee and luxurious chocolate.

About This London Distillery whisky

Yesteryear was born from the 2011 founding of The London Distillery Company, crafted anew from the distillery’s LV-1767 Edition – the first new London whisky for over 100 years.

TLDC revived this historic whisky, returning it from glass to first-fill sherry octaves and finishing it in a refill sherry quarter cask – and in doing so, have created a reimagined expression of the whisky that started it all.

Yesteryear stands as a bridge between what was and what’s to come – honouring the past while shaping the future of London whisky.
