The Last Drop — or the first?
Suppose you had a chance to taste a fine scotch that had been blended 30 or 40 years ago, and forgotten in the back of a prime distillery in Scotland? I jumped at the chance, and found my tiny portion of The Last Drop full of layered nuances from cocoa and leather to smoke, cherry and caramel.
James Esty and his cohorts — all spirits industry veterans in their 60s, 70s and 80s — have created a new brand. Now, even if I can’t afford the $2,000 for a bottle of The Last Drop right now, I will be very eager to see what he brings to the table — or the glass — next year!
