The Last Drop 1960 Blended Scotch Whisky (1x700mL + 1x50mL + Stopper)

Bottle No. 901

A cask strength blend of a truly amazing age. Distilled in 1960, it was blended and decanted into fresh sherry butts in 1972 where it was left to rest and mature until 2008 when it was bottled by hand. By this point less than half of the original contents remained, leaving only enough for 1347 bottles.

Many of the malts that comprise this blend come from now silent distilleries.

Whisky Bible 2010: Blend of the Year (NAS - Premium);

95 points Whisky AdvocateA 12 year old blended whisky was created in 1972 consisting of 70 different malt whiskies and 12 grain whiskies. The blend was then placed in three sherry casks, where it was matured for the next 36 years (highly irregular, to say the least). The quality of the sherry casks is quite evident, as is the whisky`s age. There`s substantial malt content here, too. These three factors, along with the wide range of malt and grain whiskies, combine to create one of the finest blended Scotch whiskies I have ever tasted. It`s dark, mysterious, and enormously complex, with notes of molasses, fig cake, dried fruit, tobacco, dark chocolate, old pot still rum, and polished leather, finishing with lingering cinnamon and mint. There`s no sign of this whisky getting tired at all. I am pleased they bottled it at natural strength and didn`t water it down to 40% or 43% abv, which could have ruined it. (250180-3)
