Beyond the Name

We have long sought a rum that was fitting of The Last Drop’s name, but it has been a challenge. Occasionally we have tasted something that we felt was close, but not until this treasure crossed our bows, did we feel we had found the real thing.

Release size: 183 bottles

ABV: 68.5%

Our rum’s journey from Jamaica to Liverpool can be compared to that of a child who leaves home in pursuit of an education. Distilled from pure sugar cane in 1976, and put into ex-bourbon barrels to begin its long maturation, this rum spent its formative years at home in Jamaica, soaking up the tropical heat which contributes so much to the character and flavour of Caribbean rums.

After several years enjoying the warmth of Jamaica, the barrels were loaded onto a ship which set sail for the west coast of Britain: Liverpool. There, in a cool setting, with the salty tang of the Irish Sea blowing through the warehouses, the rum settled down to begin a long, slow maturation. The cool temperatures, combined with the westerly sea breeze, have given this spirit distinct flavours which speak of its long life and journey.

This 43 year old rum is undeniably delicious, with the richness of a classic Jamaica Rum, and the smoothness that comes with great age.

IAN BURRELL, THE RUM AMBASSADOR, TASTING NOTES“The beautiful, rich, dark, bronze-like colour of this rum is all-natural. The legs are thick, viscous and slow as they trickle down the inside of glass-like “rum tears of joy”.

This rum exemplifies the Jamaican funk or “hogo” as the sweet nail polish, ripe apple, pears and tropical fruit caress your nose. There are subtle aromas of allspice & nutmeg that linger in the mix with dried wood and a touch of smoke. On the palate, an initial sweetness of summer marmalade transforms into a warm burnt caramel-like body with touches of smoke and tobacco. It has layers of sweet spices that evolve in your mouth from sweet peppers to hints of ginger and nutmeg.

The finish is incredibly long. The initial sweetness, subtly fades away to a dry spicy cacao, with a tingling of aniseed. The spicy ending is a compliment to the incredible ageing of this majestic spirit in American oak barrels.

A classic Jamaica Rum with all its heavenly glory. Full-bodied, meaty unadulterated, with initial natural sweetness and spice with enough “Jamaican Funk” for the true “Hogo” fans.”

Brand History
1976 Last Drop Very Old Jamaican Overproof Rum
"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.
