THE LAST DROP
55 YEAR OLD TOMINTOUL
SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY
BORN IN APRIL 1969, THE LAST DROP’S RELEASE NO. 38 IS THE SPIRITED, sociable younger sibling to our illustrious Release No. 36. A classic second child, it brings its own distinct personality to the family.
From the moment it was sealed in three ex-sherry butts and refill sherry hogsheads, the youngest from 1969, this whisky’s journey has been marked by an independent streak. Carefully married and refilled in 2022 into a fresh ex-Matusalem sherry cask, it exhibits a unique interplay of flavours. Over the years its golden amber hue has deepened, its bouquet has blossomed — the gentle warmth and promise of spring captured in all its complexity.
This whisky is a classic Taurus, through and through. Loyal and patient, it is characterised by an inclination towards indulgence, comfort and luxury.
