Rebecca Jago is the Managing Director of The Last Drop, and the only daughter of co-founder Tom Jago – legendary to many in the drinks industry as an innovator, a maverick and the creator of Bailey’s. She grew up surrounded by the trappings of the drinks business, not least her father’s love of a good dram, and both her parents’ passion for wine and good company. A childhood full of holidays in France and a gradual introduction to the pleasures of alcohol through gradually less watered-down wine with meals have left an indelible mark on Rebecca’s tastes, pleasures and palate.

When her brother and father decided to launch The Last Drop Distillers in 2007, Rebecca offered her informal support to the two of them. As the business grew, and Tom grew older, she found herself more and more involved in providing creative and design input, until she and Beanie met in 2014 and decided to make a commitment to helping their fathers grow the business.

Rebecca’s principal role is as TLD’s Creative Director, but she also oversees production and operations, to ensure that our precious liquids are beautifully packaged and delivered to our customers all over the world.

One of her first acts on joining TLD in a formal capacity was to seek out our smallest release to date: 118 bottles of The Last Drop 1967 Glen Garioch Single Malt! Visiting her daughter at university in Edinburgh, a drive through the Highlands of Scotland led her to the ancient Glen Garioch distillery where Rebecca unearthed this unique remnant, and deciding to trust her instincts, snapped it up for The Last Drop.
