1971 Last Drop Vintage Finest Aged Blended Scotch Whisky 750ml

In Scotland in 1971, some 40 different distilleries of malt and grain whiskies were busy crafting the spirits that would eventually become part of this truly exceptional blend.

ABV: 46.7%

This 1971 whisky can be classed as a ‘triple matured’ blend: having first been blended in 1983 for a Premium 12 Year Old, a reserve of the liquid was refilled into ex-Oloroso Sherry Butts. After a further nine years of ageing, a small proportion was refilled once more, this time into ex-American Oak Barrels. There followed a final maturation of 24 years in an old traditional dunnage warehouse before we bottled the whisky, in its prime, at the grand old age of 45 years.

You need only to taste one drop to be enveloped in the harmonious complexity of this exceptional whisky, yet one drop is certainly not enough to unveil all the rich flavours developed during its long, multi-faceted maturation.

KEN GARGETT, QUILL & TIMESo, how good is Last Drop 1971 blended Scotch whisky? Some great spirits are surely meant to be drunk – sipped reverently – on bended knee. This is one of them. Raisins, sultanas, glacé fruit; it is still amazingly fresh and vibrant, yet incredibly complex.

The hallmark of this spirit is, however, its great length. The length has more in common with one of the wonderful old Rutherglen muscats. It is mindbogglingly long and the intensity never wavers for an instant.

More flavors unfold on the palate: stone fruits, figs, orange rind, even florals. The texture offers some fire and power. This is decadence in a glass.

Brand History

"Last Drop" can refer to various things depending on the context, but one common interpretation is as a name for a bar, pub, or café. Here's a descriptive passage for a fictional "Last Drop" establishment:

Nestled in the heart of the bustling city, Last Drop stands as a beacon of warmth and conviviality amidst the urban chaos. Its weathered wooden façade exudes a timeless charm, adorned with flickering lanterns that cast a soft glow onto the cobblestone sidewalk below. Stepping through the heavy oak door, patrons are enveloped in the comforting embrace of rustic elegance.

Inside, the air is alive with the murmur of conversation and the clinking of glasses, a symphony of laughter punctuating the ambiance. Polished mahogany counters stretch along the walls, displaying an impressive array of spirits and liquors, each bottle a testament to the artistry of the craft. Behind the bar, bartenders with deft hands expertly concoct cocktails, their movements fluid and precise.

Cozy alcoves with plush leather armchairs offer refuge for intimate gatherings, while long communal tables invite strangers to forge connections over shared drinks and stories. The walls are adorned with vintage memorabilia and sepia-toned photographs, each telling a tale of times long past. Soft jazz melodies drift from hidden speakers, weaving through the air like a comforting embrace.

At Last Drop, time seems to slow, and worries melt away with each sip of finely crafted libation. It's a place where friends become family, and memories are made to last a lifetime. As the night wears on and the city outside fades into darkness, the spirit of camaraderie lingers, a lingering promise of another unforgettable evening at Last Drop.
