The second Signature Blend from The Last Drop, created for them by Master Blender, Drew Mayville. Using the treasure troves from the Buffalo Trace Distillery and his extensive skills and knowledge, Mayville created this unique blend from bourbons and straight ryes from the archives. This truly is a blend which is somehow greater than the sum of it's parts.

Mayville tasted more than 40 different vintage bourbons and ryes, creating numerous combinations before landing on his final masterpiece, this Signature Blend by Drew Mayville. 

DREW MAYVILLE’S TASTING NOTES:

COLOR: A rich, golden amber hue speaks of the wood, the age and the maturation these whiskeys have been through. The high proof can be seen in the long legs which linger on the glass.

NOSE: This reminds me of walking into one of Buffalo Trace’s most famous warehouses, built all those years ago: the atmosphere, the history and the provenance – it packs an evocative punch. Deep, dark fruit, figs, and dates on the nose, some raisins, and an aromatic spiciness, with citrus zest. There is some spiciness from the straight rye, and a creamy, vanilla from the bourbons, yielding a complex and layered flavor.

PALATE: To begin with, there are dark fruits, candy and orange peel upfront. From there, we begin a journey through a veritable spice merchant’s storeroom, and into a saddle room full of worn leather and wax. The ages of the whiskeys in this blend, and the magnificent impact of the American oak are here in perfect balance with the individual elements of the blend. A crescendo of rich and raw spiciness transitions across your palate: that balance is pure magic.
