High spirits brand The Last Drop Distillers has discovered and bottled a duo of 1969 single malt Scotch whiskies from Glenrothes, Scotland, which were left to mature in two different casks for almost 50 years
One of the 141 bottles of 1969 Glenrothes Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Cask No 16207, sourced by The Last Drop Distillers The brand was formed by James Epsey, Tom Jago and Peter Fleck, veterans of the spirits industry who, between them, have been driving forces behind some of the world’s most famed spirits. The trio forewent the prospect of early retirement in 2008 and instead embarked on their most ambitious venture to date: to source, bottle and distribute the world’s rarest spirits, from casks that first left their home distilleries decades ago.
Adhering to these same standards, the Glenrothes distillery filled its casks in 1969 with its then-current batch of single malt Scotch. A pair of these casks would seemingly disappear for the better part of 50 years, winding up into the hands of The Last Drop Distillers decades later. The brand has bottled the sibling whiskies into 271 bottles for release in 2019, marking an extremely limited edition, half a century in the making.
