In 2022, The Last Drop released their first Japanese whisky, a 20-40-year-old blend matured in an ex-sherry cask. This latest release is that exact same, exceptional blended malt whisky but matured in a Mizunara cask.

Mizunara is known for imparting a distinctive and unique flavour into whisky, however, it comes with it's challenges! The tree must be 200 years old before harvesting and is prone to distortion but the results are worth the wait.

The liquid within this blend is made up from 20 and 40-year-old malts from the now-closed Hanyu Distillery which only operated for 20 years.

Tasting Notes From TLD

Nose: Toasted dry oakiness with sweet floral aromas, dried fruit apricots, spices, almonds and rich spiciness.

Palate: The sweetness of spring flowers combined with rich and tropical mango, papaya and lychee lead to a spicy dry length. Pineapple and coconut follow.

Finish: The tropical fruits and spices linger on the palate, while the dry oak and distinctive Mizunara qualities remain in the mouth and in the memory.
