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
