This Grand Old Parr Deluxe is a very valuable old bottle that was in circulation in the early 1970s, during Japan's Special Grade (Tokkyu) whisky era. It is an early model when the cap was replaced with a more convenient screw cap (metal screw lid), and its quality is guaranteed by the Special Grade (Tokkyu) designation.
The bottle retains Old Parr's traditional, distinctive, angular rock-like shape, with a finely embossed mesh pattern on the surface. This rugged design accentuates the bottle's stately presence and historic presence. The label features a portrait of Thomas Parr, Scotland's oldest man, and conveys the brand's origins and a wish for longevity. The bottle has a volume of 760ml and an alcohol content of 43%. It met the high quality standards of an official Japanese import at the time.
Old Parr from this period combines smoothness and complexity of flavor with a distinction from current products, thanks to the high aging and quality of the raw spirits used in the blend. The flavor is both mellow and powerful, with a fruity sweetness reminiscent of aged pears and raisins layered with the richness of malt and the gentle peaty (smoky) aroma typical of old bottles. The distinctive character of the key malt, Cragganmore, shines through in this deep flavor.
As this is an old bottle, the liquid level, label condition, and outer box may show signs of aging. Please check the condition before purchasing this exquisite item, which exudes the dignity of good old Scotch whisky.
