The Last Drop 50 Year Old Double Matured

This extraordinary whisky was initially blended from over 50 different Scotch whiskies in 1995 as a 30 year old, married in ex-bourbon casks. A small proportion was held back, however, and filled into seven Oloroso Sherry hogsheads that lay in a traditional Lowland warehouse for a further 20 years! The final outturn was 898 bottles and accompanying 5cl miniatures, presented in a leather case with a certificate of bottling.

"You’d expect, after half a century in wood, that this would be a quiet dram, just enjoying its final years with its feet up and arms behind its head. Instead we have a fairly aggressive blend determined to drive the abundant fruitiness it still possesses to the very hilt. It is backed up all the way by a surprising degree of warming, busy spice. There is a hell of a lot of life in this beautiful ol’ dog."
