The Last Drop 1968 Glenrothes is a rare piece of Speyside history. The spirit was distilled and filled into an ex-bourbon cask in November 1968. It then sat in that same cask, number 13508, for nearly 50 years. The Last Drop released it in 2018 alongside a twin cask filled the same day.
It pours an 18-carat gold, and it beads well for its strength of 50.2% ABV. Expect a slight prickle at first. Then a mellow, fruity and herbal nose opens up. You may find crystallised greengages, dusty dried herbs and a faint wisp of scented smoke. Cigar box and candlewax arrive later as it breathes. The brand's notes on the twin release also mention vanilla.
The texture is oily and rich. Sweetness fills the middle of your palate, with a touch of salt and a rise of peppery spice. The finish is long and warming. Pepper stays with you, and a slightly mentholic coolness closes things out.
A whisky this old deserves a slow pace. Pour a small measure, let it rest, and add only a drop of water if you like. It sits well beside dark chocolate or a spiced fruit cake, but it needs nothing else.
This bottle is for collectors and serious whisky drinkers who want something truly scarce. It is a quiet, complex glass from a cask that waited half a century for you.
