The Last Drop 56 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky
The Last Drop 56 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky
The Last Drop 56 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky is Release 16 from the London independent bottler: 732 bottles of a deluxe-style blend whose youngest whisky was distilled in 1963. More than 60% of the vatting is single malt. The blend spent nearly 20 years in sherry butts, then about 30 years in four ex-bourbon casks, and was bottled in 2019 at 94.4 proof (47.2% ABV) without further dilution. Islay smoke, Speyside sweetness, and Highland depth share the same sip after that long second wood. An after-dinner dram.
Smoke, tar, and vanilla arrive together, with apricot and stone fruit giving the sip a brighter center. Cognac-like spice and molasses stand out on the palate; the texture is silk, and the finish turns delicately dry while staying remarkably fresh.
