Old Parr Whiskey 18Yr - Item Code: 04907
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Old Parr 18 Year Old Whisky greets the palate with a smooth, velvety texture that makes it an excellent choice for savoring on special occasions or quiet evenings. With an ABV of 40%, this Scotch whisky is crafted in Scotland using a blend of carefully selected malt and grain whiskies, each aged for at least eighteen years. The extended maturation imparts a refined complexity, making Old Parr 18Yr both approachable and sophisticated.
On the nose and palate, you’ll find layers of dried fruit, honeyed oak, and subtle hints of smoke mingling with notes of toffee and spice. These flavors create a harmonious balance that pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, enhancing its cocoa richness while drawing out the whisky’s gentle sweetness. When enjoyed alongside aged cheddar, Old Parr 18Yr’s nutty undertones complement the cheese’s sharpness, resulting in a memorable tasting experience that highlights both elements’ depth and character.

Scotch whiskey, a distinguished spirit originating from Scotland, is primarily made from malted barley for single malts and grains for blended varieties. This iconic drink undergoes a meticulous distillation process using pot stills for single malts and column stills for grain whiskies, followed by an aging period of at least three years in oak casks, often previously used for bourbon or sherry. The result is a diverse range of flavors and aromas that reflect the unique characteristics of its regions of origin.
Single malt Scotch typically boasts rich and complex flavors with notes of fruit, spice, smoke, peat, and oak, while blended Scotch offers a smoother profile with balanced hints of caramel, vanilla, and light smoke. The texture can vary significantly—from smooth and creamy to rich and oily—depending on the style. Scotch whiskey is versatile in its consumption; it can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks and serves as a key ingredient in classic cocktails like the Rob Roy or Blood & Sand.
