The Last Drop R.42 60 Year Single Grain Scotch Whiskey (700mL)

The Last Drop R.42 60 Year Single Grain Scotch Whisky (700mL) — Ultra-Rare 1965 Carsebridge Single Cask | Only 140 Bottles Worldwide

Experience an extraordinary surviving piece of Scotch whisky history with The Last Drop Release No. 42 60 Year Old Single Grain Scotch Whisky, an exceptionally rare single-cask expression from Scotland's long-lost Carsebridge Distillery. Distilled in 1965 and matured for an astonishing six decades, this release offers collectors a glimpse into an era of Scotch whisky production that can never be recreated.

Release No. 42 comes entirely from Cask No. 160237, an ex-bourbon cask filled at Carsebridge in November 1965. Over the following 60 years, patient maturation transformed the grain whisky into an exceptionally elegant and complex spirit, developing layers of toffee, sweet fruit, baking spices, toasted almonds, crème brûlée, clove, and refined oak.

Carsebridge was once an important producer of grain whisky in Scotland's Lowlands, supplying whisky that formed the backbone of many Scotch blends. The distillery ultimately closed in 1983 and was later demolished, making its surviving mature stocks increasingly scarce. Release No. 42 is therefore more than an extraordinarily old whisky—it is a liquid time capsule from one of Scotland's legendary silent distilleries.

Bottled at 42.4% ABV (84.8 Proof) and limited to just 140 individually numbered bottles worldwide, The Last Drop R.42 represents an exceptional intersection of provenance, age, rarity, and historic significance.

🍽️ How to Enjoy

A 60-year-old single-cask whisky of this rarity deserves an exceptionally deliberate tasting:

• Sip neat from a premium crystal or tulip-shaped whisky glass
• Allow 15–20 minutes to rest and evolve before tasting
• Revisit the aroma several times as the whisky opens in the glass
• Taste initially without water to appreciate its natural 42.4% ABV presentation
• Add only a few drops of water if desired to explore additional fruit and aromatic complexity
• Avoid ice, which can suppress the delicate nuances of a whisky matured for six decades
• Pair with toasted almonds, crème brûlée, aged cheese, or fine dark chocolate
• Use the included 50mL miniature for tasting while preserving the individually numbered full-size bottle
• An extraordinary centerpiece for collections focused on ghost distilleries and ultra-aged Scotch whisky
