They discovered three barrels of the 1972 mystery blend in the cellars and this led to The Last Drop of which only 1347 bottles were produced. 88 of these bottles made it to Hong Kong and most have been sold or, taking the glass half full stance, a few are still available.
Having set off to review an outstanding blend, I now encountered a major hurdle in that, unlike our featured single malts, I had not sampled the Last Drop. Honestly, this would have been the end of this article as I maintained a suspicion, perhaps due to the creamy liqueur connection, that these people were very good marketers and that the whisky might not be all that it was said to be. To my chagrin, the publisher declined my suggestion he purchase the only bottle that is on sale in that Wan Chai institution, the Canny Man, in order to thoroughly review the product. However one should never underestimate the acumen of an ex-banker and he had, to my delight, managed to procure a decent sample.
