Grand Old Parr 18 Years Blended Scotch [750ML]

Description

What happens when a Scottish blend carries the legend of a man who supposedly lived 152 years?

Grand Old Parr 18 Years represents one of Scotland’s most historically fascinating blends, named after Thomas Parr whose portrait by Peter Paul Rubens graces every bottle. This 18-year aged expression builds upon a legacy dating back to 1909, with Cragganmore single malt forming its distinguished backbone. The low-smoke profile allows the malt’s natural complexity to shine through, creating a sophisticated drinking experience that rivals premium Highland single malts while offering the balanced character that makes blended Scotch so versatile.
