Raise a toast and savour it till the last drop to celebrate the launch of The Last Drop 50-year-old Scotch whiskey. This rare liquor is a blend of 82 whiskies. Up for $4,000, only 388 bottles of this pricey whiskey will be available in the UK, US, China and other countries.

Bottled by hand and sealed with wax, each of The Last Drop bottle nestles in a luxurious red leather case. And those who need to sample this blend before opening the bottle can do so from the 50 ml miniature that comes along.

This magnificent liquid was released way back as a premium 12-year-old. However three casks were overlooked and lay at the back of the warehouse, evaporating and developing an unequalled richness of nose and taste. The special contents of these barrels have now been bottled as the 50-year old blended Scotch whiskey.

Estimated to double its value in less than five years, The Last Drop is attractive to collectors because old Scotch whiskey is sound investment.
