In 2017 we bottled six casks of a superb, vintage blended Scotch Whisky: release no 10: the 1971. But we kept back one cask, to mature it to the grand old age of 50 years.
This 100% Japanese-distilled whisky marries 20 to 40 year old malts from the beginning and the end of the short life of the Hanyu Distillery, which opened in 1980 and closed its gates in the year 2000.
Since the foundation of The Last Drop, we have always celebrated Scotch Whisky in all its forms: blends, single malts and, perhaps the least known and understood of the trilogy: grain whisky.
