After more than five decades of ageing, it was given a final 20-month finish in an Amoroso butt, adding an extra layer of rich, dessert-wine sweetness and polished oak. With only 582 bottles released at 41.7% ABV, it’s a classic “milestone” collector’s whisky with real story and scarcity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Details\u003cbr\u003e- Distillery\/Brand: Tomintoul\u003cbr\u003e- Bottler: The Last Drop Distillers\u003cbr\u003e- Release: No.36\u003cbr\u003e- Classification: Scotch Whisky\u003cbr\u003e- Style: Single Malt\u003cbr\u003e- Region: Speyside, Scotland\u003cbr\u003e- Distilled\/Laid Down: 11.11.1968\u003cbr\u003e- Age: 55 Year Old\u003cbr\u003e- Cask Finish: 20-month finish in an Amoroso butt\u003cbr\u003e- Outturn: 582 bottles\u003cbr\u003e- ABV: 41.70%\u003cbr\u003e- Bottle Size: 70cl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes (as provided)\u003cbr\u003eNose: Dark fruits, sweet raisins and fruitcake, followed by gentle florals, grassy nettles, toffee and a nutty spice.\u003cbr\u003ePalate: Ripe fruits and richly caramelised apples, with spices and herbs tingling across the tongue and buttery sticky-toffee-pudding richness.\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Long and lingering, with sweet oak and surprising floral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy This Bottle Is Worth Bidding On\u003cbr\u003e- 55-year-old single malt from a distillery founded in the mid-1960s, with a clear “early days” provenance and a specific laydown date.\u003cbr\u003e- The Last Drop releases are positioned firmly at the premium end, and the limited outturn (582 bottles) keeps this genuinely scarce.\u003cbr\u003e- Amoroso butt finishing is an unusual and very on-brand touch for The Last Drop, likely boosting the dried-fruit, pudding and sweet oak character without overpowering the whisky’s mature elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition \/ Notes for Buyers\u003cbr\u003ePlease check photos for fill level, label condition, capsule integrity and any presentation case\/box wear.
