Frequently Asked Questions

The Last Drop 50 Year Old Double Matured Blended Scotch Whisky is the pinnacle of luxury and craftsmanship, featuring an extraordinary journey of flavor perfected over five decades. Initially blended from over fifty premium Scotch whiskies and matured for 30 years in bourbon casks, this rare spirit underwent an additional 20-year maturation in Oloroso sherry casks, yielding a dual-layered complexity known as "double matured." Aromas of stone fruit, honey, and spices intertwine with tropical fruits and mocha for a palate of luxurious depth, balanced oak, and a subtle smoky finish. Limited to just 898 bottles, each is an irreplaceable treasure of nuanced richness, ideal for collectors and connoisseurs seeking an unparalleled whisky experience. With its exquisite balance of tradition and artistry, The Last Drop is not just a whisky but a masterpiece in a glass.

Process & Profile

The journey of The Last Drop 50 Year Double Matured Blended Scotch Whisky began as an ultra-premium 30-year-old blend, crafted from over 50 different malt and grain whiskies. Initially matured in ex-Bourbon casks, a precious remnant was later transferred into Spanish Hogshead casks that had previously held Oloroso sherry, allowing for an additional 20 years of aging. This rare "double maturation" process resulted in unparalleled complexity, combining the rich, fruity notes from sherry casks with the stone-fruit and honey traits of Bourbon wood. The result? A whisky with layered flavors that reflect decades of meticulous care and patience.

Tasting Notes

Sherry cask aging imparts notes of treacle, mocha, and leather, while a hint of smokiness lingers. Sweet spices, almonds, and toffee soften into a beautifully balanced experience.
