The Last Drop Distillers 56 Year Old Finest Aged Blended Scotch Whiskey
The Last Drop Distillers 56 Year Old is a magnificent aged blended Scotch whisky from over six decades of maturation — a ‘deluxe blend’ comprising over 60% single malts, with nearly 20 years in sherry butts before a long, slow finish in ex-bourbon casks, producing a remarkable and unique whisky with all the hallmarks of single malts from every corner of Scotland: Islay smoke, Speyside sweetness, and Highland roundness and depth.
The Last Drop Distillers was founded to bottle the world’s most extraordinary aged and rare spirits. This 56-year-old blend represents half a century and more of maturation — the nearly 20 years of sherry butt ageing producing the dark natural colour and concentrated dried fruit and spice, with the subsequent bourbon cask maturation adding complementary layers of vanilla and molasses over the remaining decades. The result is a perfect example of the magic that can happen between distillate and wood over multiple generations of maturation. Browse the full Scotch whisky collection at Wooden Cork.
