The Heart Cut | #2 East London Liquor Company 50cl

Like most bartenders, Alex Wolpert had a desire to create something; not a bar, but a distillery to produce the spirits used behind it. He wanted to make delicious, affordable spirits; spirits that taste good mixed and neat, make a cracking martini both at home and behind the bar and ultimately make a bartender’s job easier. That’s East London Liquor in a nutshell.

The Heart Cut enables spirit lovers to taste and experience casks from a variety of global distilleries. From small innovative producers in unexpected locations to internationally renowned brands, each bottling has been hand-picked for both its flavour profile and story.

Released periodically throughout the year, each carefully selected cask has been picked in collaboration with the partner distillery, telling their personal tale of people, provenance and the pursuit of crafting distinctive flavours through the art of production.

We were founded by two spirits and, in particular, whisky enthusiasts who have both worked in the drinks industry for over a decade each. We’re deeply passionate about spirits — not just drinking them with friends — but learning about their stories, enjoying new flavours and talking to the people who craft them.
