From The Last Drop’s inventory of maturing malt and grain whiskies and aged blends, Colin Scott has used his knowledge and experience in blending to craft a 50 year old whisky that speaks of the past yet also to the present.
Each of the 500 bottles evokes memories of this sumptuous whisky’s long journey to perfect maturity, presenting smooth, rich flavours from all corners of Scotland. The journey for this sumptuous whisky started as the new distillate of single malts and grains, filled into casks over fifty years ago. Over time, malt and grain whiskies have been selected and special blends created to be secured in oak cask for further maturation. Final selections were made from casks of malts, grains and aged blends and blended together resulting in a truly remarkable 50 year old Signature blend.
As expected for a whisky that has seen such a long and patient maturation in both sherry and bourbon cask, the resulting liquid is rich and luxurious, yet it retains a balance and freshness which belies its age, with dried fruits and scented floral notes enhanced with sweet spices and creamy toffee.
Tasting Notes from our Master Blender Colin Scott A warm golden amber colour reflecting long maturation in both sherry and bourbon casks for over 50 years. On the nose, rich peppery spices entice and tempt further exploration. A rich fruitiness of red apples and dried apricots are enhanced by scented floral notes and balanced with sweet spices, almonds and a hint of oak.Full, sweet fruitiness of apples, warm spices and dried fruits. Then a softness of spring flowers and the nuttiness of almonds with notes of liquorice and creamy toffee. The finish is warm and lingering with hints of liquorice, spring flowers and oak. The taste remains long after the last sip.
