THE LAST DROP
40 YEAR OLD 15TH ANNIVERSARY BLENDED SCOTCH WHISKY
CREATED BY MASTER BLENDER COLIN J P SCOTT
THE LAST DROP DISTILLERS celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2023. Founded in 2008 by James Espey OBE and Tom Jago, TLDD is marking this milestone with the release of a limited bottling of a unique 40 year old Blended Scotch Whisky created for the occasion by our Master Blender, Colin JP Scott.
This whisky is a shining example of why we hunt so tirelessly for the great, the astonishing, of why merely ‘good’ is not good enough. Some of the grain whisky in this blend was distilled at the North of Scotland distillery, the smallest grain distillery in Scotland which sadly closed in 1980. In its day, North of Scotland was thought to be one of the more flavoursome grain whiskies around.
Release Size : 845 Bottles
Format: Individually numbered bottles (700ml + 50ml miniature) presented in our ravishing new packaging.
ABV : 47.1%
RRP : £2,880.00 (inc VAT)
This Last Drop 40YO 15th Anniversary Blended Scotch Whisky is a connoisseur’s drink; one that you might wish to savour quietly on your own, before sharing it with carefully chosen accomplices who will appreciate its unique character.

COLIN SCOTT’S TASTING NOTES
APPEARANCE: Rich amber
NOSE: A rich fruitiness of apricots, pears and apples is enhanced with the sweetness of honey, and soft notes of dates, prunes and vanilla, from the ex-bourbon casks in which it was finished. A gentle floral fragrance and hints of toast and honey.
Fig 2 – Rich sweet fruitPALATE: Rounded and smooth, there is a complexity of dried apricots and figs, with almond essence. The florality on the nose develops into a subtle sweetness of spring flowers, candy and vanilla ice cream.
Fig 3 – LiquoriceFINISH: A delightful and complex finish of fruit, vanilla and liquorice, lingering notes of coffee and chocolate stay on the palate for an age.
