Grand Old Parr Scotch Whiskey

Grand Old Parr 12 Year Old is the standard expression from the Grand Old Parr blended Scotch range — a 12-year minimum aged blended Scotch with the distinctive crackled-glass bottle design that has made it iconic in Japan and Latin American markets since the 20th century.

Grand Old Parr is named after Thomas Parr, the legendary English centenarian, and the longevity theme has resonated particularly in Japan and Latin America. The 12-year expression is smooth and approachable, with the standard Diageo blending expertise producing a consistent, accessible premium blended Scotch. Browse all Scotch whisky at Wooden Cork.

Frequently Asked Questions

The crackled or cracked-ice glass finish on the Grand Old Parr bottle is one of the most distinctive packaging designs in blended Scotch — designed to reference age and the cracking of old parchment, reinforcing the brand’s longevity and age positioning. The design has been consistent for decades and is immediately recognisable in markets where the brand is popular.

Is Grand Old Parr widely available in the United States?

Less so than in Japan and Latin America, where the brand has significantly higher cultural penetration. In the US it is available as a premium import blended Scotch. Order online with fast shipping.
