The Last Drop Distillers Limited Bottling 1970 Glenrothes Cask #10589 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Last Drop Distillers 1970 Glenrothes Cask #10589 is an extraordinarily rare Speyside single malt — filled on 6 December 1970 and matured undisturbed in its single cask for over 50 years before bottling at 45.0% ABV, representing the remarkable alchemy that happens between distillate and wood over half a century of Speyside maturation.

On 6 December 1970, three single casks were filled with Glenrothes Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Each cask was bottled separately — Cask #10589 is the first of the three sibling casks. The Last Drop Distillers was founded specifically to bottle the world’s most extraordinary aged and rare spirits that would otherwise have gone unrecognised. Glenrothes Distillery in Rothes, Speyside has been producing single malt since 1879 and is highly regarded for its characteristically rich and spicy Speyside style.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Smoky wet wood reminiscent of a campfire interrupted by rain, alongside vanilla, cooked bananas, a hint of sandalwood, and touches of dried fruits
• Palate: Fruity and vibrant with fresh berries and tropical fruits; a dark undertone of oak tannins and smoke balanced by gentle spices — delightfully complex
• Finish: Very long with gentle spices and touches of fruit and smoke
