Only 500 bottles were produced worldwide, with 125 allocated to the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Last Drop Distillers is known for finding and bottling exceptionally old, forgotten casks and blends. For its first Signature Creation, it turned to Master Blender Colin J.P. Scott, who spent more than four decades at Chivas Brothers and created Chivas Regal 18 Year Old before joining The Last Drop. Released worldwide on 15 May 2021, the blend is a celebration of his craft and of whisky made in an earlier era of Scottish distilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScott selected every component from The Last Drop's own cellar of aged single malts, grain whiskies and mature blends from across Scotland, with the oldest distillate filled more than fifty years ago. These whiskies date from a time when coal-fired stills were common and malt was dried with peat from the distilleries' own floor maltings. Sherry-cask whiskies bring nutty, liquorice and spice notes, while American oak casks contribute vanilla, creamy and floral character. The bottle is presented in The Last Drop's signature red case with a matching miniature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich peppery spice, red apple and dried apricot, with floral notes, sweet spices, almond and a hint of oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet apple and dried fruit with warm spices, then spring flowers, almond, liquorice and creamy toffee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm and lingering, with liquorice, spring flowers and oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Last Drop Distillers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blended Scotch Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signature Blend (first Signature Creation); 500 bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94.4 proof (47.2% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sherry and bourbon casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour it neat and give it a few minutes in the glass; the spice and fruit open steadily, and a drop of water brings out the toffee and almond.
