The Last Drop, Signature Creation by Louise McGuane
Last Drop Distillers released its first Irish whiskey with a 32 Year Old Signature Creation, drawn from a single ex-oloroso sherry butt and limited to 663 bottles. Created by whiskey bonder Louise McGuane, the release combined parcels from several mature casks to form a cohesive, long-aged single malt. Bottled at 46.4% ABV, it marked a notable moment for both Last Drop Distillers and the modern Irish whiskey category.
