The Last Drop 22 Year Old Japanese Blended Malt Whisky.
IN THE MILLENNIUM YEAR 2000; the final year of Hanyu Distillery’s operation, The Last Drop’s third Japanese whisky release encapsulates the artistry of distilling in the country responsible for some of the most highly valued whiskies in the world. Just as Japan is a country of contradictions — from ancient temples to the most advanced technology, it is a place where tradition meets cosmopolitanism, where concrete jungles are encased in vast natural beauty – so its whiskies are accordingly, beautifully complex.
Even a quarter century after its closure Hanyu is renowned for its exceptional yet elusive whisky, and this release is a very special marriage of just two casks, both crafted from Japan’s rare Mizunara oak. Known for its porous nature and distinctive flavour profile, Mizunara imparts floral, herbal, and nutty characteristics to a whisky. The result is a complex, contemplative spirit with a lingering finish of dried fruits and exotic spices.
