Description
Grand Old Parr 12 Years Old 1L, 40% is a mature blended Scotch whisky owned by Diageo and created from carefully selected malt and grain whiskies aged for at least 12 years. First introduced in 1909, the brand has developed a particularly strong following across international and export markets.
Cragganmore malt plays an important role in the Old Parr house style, contributing ripe fruit, malty richness and gentle smoky depth. The blend offers a balanced profile built around caramel, stewed fruit, candied orange, raisins, cereal, honey and warming oak spice.
The distinctive dark, textured bottle reflects the historic presentation associated with Grand Old Parr. This generous one-litre edition is presented with its original gold-coloured box, making it suitable for drinking, gifting or inclusion in a collection of international blended Scotch releases.

Collector’s Note
Grand Old Parr takes its name from Thomas Parr, a historic English figure reputed to have lived to an exceptionally old age. The whisky brand was introduced in 1909 and has retained a recognisable traditional identity through its textured dark bottle and period-inspired presentation.
This 1L, 40% bottle is not an individually numbered limited edition. Its collector interest comes from its larger international-market format, 12-year age statement and distinctive boxed presentation.
Packaging, label and bottling-strength variations have appeared in different countries and production periods. Complete examples with an intact seal, clean label, strong fill level and original box are generally the most attractive for display.
