Deep, dark fruit, figs, and dates on the nose, some raisins, and an aromatic spiciness, with citrus zest. There is some spiciness from the straight rye, and a creamy, vanilla from the bourbons, yielding a complex and layered flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTo begin with, there are dark fruits, candy and orange peel upfront. From there, we begin a journey through a veritable spice merchant’s storeroom, and into a saddle room full of worn leather and wax. The ages of the whiskeys in this blend, and the magnificent impact of the American oak are here in perfect balance with the individual elements of the blend. A crescendo of rich and raw spiciness transitions across your palate: that balance is pure magic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Last Drop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44098756214999,"sku":"LAST-DROP-DREW-MAYVILLE","price":3279.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0246\/9753\/6596\/files\/tds-last-drop-drew-mayville-2.jpg?v=1696830544","url":"https:\/\/thedrinksociety.sg\/products\/the-last-drop-signature-blend-by-drew-mayville-buffalo-trace-distillery-blended-kentucky-straight-whisky-700ml-50ml","provider":"The Drink Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
