Old Parr 12 Year Old is a rich and smooth blended Scotch whisky built around the renowned, characterful malts of Cragganmore, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Old Parr is one of Scotland's most storied blended whisky brands, first blended in 1871 by Macdonald Greenlees and named after Thomas Parr, an Englishman said to have lived to the remarkable age of 152, which made the brand a symbol of longevity, quality and timeless character. Cragganmore distillery, the spiritual home and heart of Old Parr, lies on the banks of the River Spey, deep in the Highlands of Scotland. Aged 12 Years is the brand's core expression.
Sweet, complex, warm and balanced, it is a culmination of some of the finest flavors Scotland has to offer.
Old Parr's easy-drinking profile makes it equally enjoyable neat, on the rocks, with your favorite soft drink or in a classic whisky cocktail.
As a blended Scotch, Old Parr marries malt whiskies with grain whiskies, and the 12-year age statement means every whisky in the blend has matured for at least twelve years. The range also includes Grand Old Parr 18 Year Old, crafted from whiskies matured a minimum of eighteen years, for those who want an even deeper expression.
It is a generous, approachable Scotch to share with friends.
