I often leave the last sip, or chuck it away. Its a lingering habit from childhood. The last sip of fruit juice would always contain the bits of fruit pulp, or possibly a bogey that my older brother had dropped into my glass. I’m the opposite.

A distillery on a west coast island is preparing to produce the “world’s most alcoholic single malt whisky”.

Managers at Bruichladdich on Islay will use an ancient recipe to distil the whisky four times and produce an alcohol content of at least 92%.

Bruichladdich believes it will be akin to a drink described 300 years ago by travel writer, Martin Martin.

In his 1695 travel book, The Western Islands of Scotland, Martin Martin refers to a quadruple distilled whisky known as “usquebaugh-baul” and wrote what is probably the world’s oldest whisky tasting note.

He said: “The first taste affects all the members of the body: two spoonfuls of this last liquor is a sufficient dose; and if any man should exceed this, it would presently stop his breath, and endanger his life.”

The secret lies in the drink being distilled four times - usually malt is only distilled twice.

Just twelve barrels will be made on Monday at lunchtime.

I also like that the last sip is typically the initiative for action. Like, if you're about to do something great, like solve a case, you can be totally calm and together as you take that last sip. But as soon as the glass hits the table, you better get off your ass and onto solving mysteries. Good call. I also like that the last sip is typically the initiative for action.
