The Last Drop 40 year old 15th Anniversary Blend, 47.1%

Price: 3800 Issue: Fall 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Scotch Whisky

Remarkably fresh and uplifting for its age. Master blender Colin Scott has created a celebratory blend with a nose of green apple, fresh flowers, barley, graham cracker, honey, vanilla, and seasoned oak. Apricot, pear, milk chocolate, raisins, date, and an exotic spiced honey note appear on the palate, ending with lemongrass, pepper, and oak. The drying finish shows a light smokiness akin to that of a distant wild grass fire brought to you on a breeze.
