The Quest for the Remarkable
The Last Drop Distillers are single-minded about their mission: to seek out and collect remarkable spirits from around the globe, unfettered by house style or spirits category. There might only be enough liquid for a handful of bottles, but this is a quest for quality over quantity. Guided by expert ‘noses’, a life-long love of the finest spirits and a little help from numerous friends across the worlds of Wine & Spirits, The Last Drop draws a very strict line between the great and the merely good.
Tom & James
THE FOUNDING FAMILIES
A Legacy of Discovery. The Last Drop Distillers was founded by two icons of the spirits industry, Tom Jago and James Espey with over 80 years of experience between them. Their aim was to curate the world’s most remarkable spirits by finding treasures across aged spirit categories and sharing them with those who seek the genuinely extraordinary.

ONE SINGLE MISSION
This passion for exploration and discovery continues to guide The Last Drop. While the founding families have since stepped back, their legacy lives on in every bottle. We promise not just rarity, but an inimitable journey into the extraordinary – a finite experience that can never be replicated, staying true to the vision of those who dared to dream it into existence. The Last Drop remains driven by integrity, and each release is a celebration of craft, character, and time.
Cask Curation
Our philosophy
Since the company was founded in 2008, The Last Drop Distillers has released just 40 limited bottlings across Scotch Whisky, Cognac, Bourbon and Rum, Japanese Whisky and Irish Whiskey, as well as aged Ports and Pineau des Charentes, comprising fewer than 15,600 to date. Seeking nothing less than the remarkable in the spirits they curate, the company’s unwavering commitment is to the quality of the liquid and the pleasure of sharing the treasures they uncover.
