The Last Drop

The Last Drop Distillers is a London-based luxury spirits company specialising in sourcing, bottling, and releasing some of the rarest and most exceptional aged spirits in the world. Founded in 2008 by industry veterans Tom Jago and James Espey, both of whom played pivotal roles in creating brands like Johnnie Walker Blue Label and Chivas Regal 18, The Last Drop was born from a desire to find extraordinary, forgotten casks and share them in extremely limited quantities.

The company’s philosophy is simple yet uncompromising: seek out only the finest, most characterful aged spirits, bottle them at their peak, and release them in tiny numbers. This approach means that each bottling is unique, once it’s gone, it’s gone forever, and represents an unrepeatable moment in the history of the spirit’s maturation..

Each spirit is chosen after extensive tasting and evaluation by The Last Drop’s tasting panel, which has included some of the most respected palates in the industry. Casks are often found in distillery warehouses, family cellars, or private collections — sometimes having sat undisturbed for 40, 50, or even 70 years.

Once a spirit is selected, it is bottled at natural cask strength and colour, without chill-filtration, to preserve its authentic character. Presentation is an important part of The Last Drop experience: each release comes in a hand-finished leather case with a certificate of authenticity, an information booklet, and a miniature bottle so the owner can taste the spirit without opening the full-sized one.

Flavour profiles are as varied as the sources, but all share the hallmark of exceptional maturity, concentration, and complexity. The long ageing process often brings layers of dried fruit, polished wood, exotic spice, and lingering sweetness, while retaining remarkable vibrancy for their age.

Our The Last Drop selection is, by nature, fleeting each bottling is released in tiny allocations, often numbering just a few hundred bottles worldwide. Whether you’re a collector seeking a centrepiece for your cabinet or a connoisseur in search of a once-in-a-lifetime tasting experience, The Last Drop offers spirits that are truly without equal, representing the pinnacle of rarity, history, and craftsmanship.
