The new Last Drop Distillers 48 Year Old blended Scotch whisky, according to The Spirits Business, has in its mix single grain and single malt whiskies, the youngest of which were distilled back in 1965. It is said by those behind this expression that several of the distilleries represented in the blend are shuttered, “making this a truly rare and luxurious Scotch whisky – the like of which you may never taste again.”
Each one of these bottles, commanding a retail price of between $3,000 and $4,000 USD, is wax-dipped by hand and then placed into a special leather case. Accompanying the whisky is a smaller 50 ml bottle for those who want to try it without cracking open their investment grade Scotch. Also included is a “leather-bound booklet that certifies your bottle and leaves room for personal tasting notes.”
Official tasting notes for this release are below. As for where to pick up one of these thousands of dollars bottles, here you go.
A rich, yet golden chestnut. On the nose, warm figs and ripe peaches are balanced with layers of pear and cinnamon-spiced orange. Once in the mouth, the flavour is both complex and smooth with a slow release of ripened peaches, pear brandy and toasted oak wood. Dark chocolate, almond and peach linger in the mouth.
