The Last Drop Tomintoul 55 year old, 43.1%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2025 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
A matusalem-finished marriage of three sherry butts and a refill sherry hogshead. The nose has a generous dark intensity of fruitcake, toffee, dark chocolate, dried cranberry, stone fruits, and seasoned oak. The rich syrupy mouthfeel shows chocolate, dried apricot, mango strips, licorice, clove, coffee, canned fruit cocktail syrup, crème caramel, and maple-glazed walnuts, with a sweet toffee finish. A few drops of water lighten the mood and release more fruitiness. (430 bottles)
