The London Distillery Company — Reviving London’s Whisky Heritage
The London Distillery Company is a name synonymous with resilience, craftsmanship, and innovation. From its visionary 1807 origins to its rebirth in 2011 and long-awaited return in 2025, the story of The London Distillery Company is one of determination and dedication to restoring London’s place on the world whisky map.
A New Chapter in London’s Distilling History
Re-established in 2011, The London Distillery Company became London’s first new whisky distillery in over a century, reigniting a tradition that had been dormant since the closure of the Lea Valley Distillery in 1903. Leading the revival of the capital’s craft distilling movement, the company is renowned for producing exceptional English whisky and spirits that embody both heritage and modernity.
Crafting Spirits with Character
Operating from a pioneering site in Battersea, London, the distillery gained early recognition for its innovative whisky-making approach — blending traditional copper pot distillation with a fresh, contemporary vision. Its commitment to small-batch production, sustainability, and premium ingredients helped redefine what English whisky could be.
Resilience and Revival
Although the distillery paused production in 2020, it left behind an enduring legacy and a collection of whisky casks that captured the spirit of a city rediscovering its distilling heritage. Now, in 2025, The London Distillery Company proudly returns — fully revived and re-committed to crafting London whisky that celebrates both tradition and innovation.
A Dedication to Quality and Craftsmanship
Every bottle produced by The London Distillery Company reflects an unwavering commitment to quality, authenticity, and time-honoured methods. Using only the finest ingredients and guided by expert blending, the company continues its pursuit of flavour, character, and excellence — ensuring London once again stands at the heart of English whisky.
