Default Old Parr Whisky & Old Tom Parr

We're familiar with three variants of Old Parr: Grand Old Parr (12 year old), Old Parr (15 year old), Old Parr Superior (18 year old).

Where to find this deluxe blended Scotch whisky? Contact this brand's owner, Diageo. Here's their email address for general information: global.general.information@diageo.com Here's their phone number: +44 (0)20 7927 5200

So you're curious about the name Old Parr, huh? Well, Old Parr or Old Tom Parr was Britain's oldest man! Apparently or should we say ...supposedly....he lived for 152 years and at the age of 122 he married for the second time!

Charles I arranged for him to be buried in Westminster Abbey on November 15, 1635. Some say his records were confused with his grandfather's, but I enjoy the story the way it is and find no need to delve further!

Good luck to you - perhaps Old Parr Scotch will keep you young!
