Old Parr Superior 18 YO - #10 of Leading Scotch Brands

Old Parr Superior 18 YO

When it comes to excellent blended scotch whiskey, Old Parr 18 year-old is at the top of its class. Its rich amber color is derived from its generous aging period in oak barrels, which also imbue this spirit with a steady and smooth oaken finish. Experts agree that the notes of rich roasted nuts, dried fruits, and suede were infinitely enhanced by the mellow and gently textured notes of hay and grain. This medium-bodied, roundly smooth blended scotch ends on a high note of peppery peat smoke. The balance of influences has drawn acclaim for this qualified competitor. The Beverage Testing Institute awarded it a score of 93 out of 100. Jim Murray, presiding over the Whiskey Bible accorded it the title of Whiskey of the Year in 2007. It pairs well with dark chocolate, rich cream or cheese dishes, roasted meats, and smoked salmon. Make your own assessment this year and decide for yourself.
