Since then, the company has been sold to Sazerac and Tom\u2019s daughter Rebecca is now in charge, but the goal remains the same: finding those unicorn whiskies that may have fallen through the cracks\u2026or just don\u2019t fit into someone else\u2019s plans. We\u2019ll talk with Rebecca Jago about The Last Drop\u2019s 2024 Collection and the difficulty of sourcing those rare casks in today\u2019s market on this week\u2019s WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, labor problems hit Heaven Hill and Whyte & Mackay, while a longtime Highland distillery manager has retired.
