The Old Parr Scotch whisky brand was registered in 1909 by Greenlees Brothers, who soon became Macdonald Greenlees and were absorbed into Diageo forerunner Distillers Company Ltd (DCL) in the 1920s. Old Parr was originally a 12-year-old blended malt, although it soon became a blended Scotch whisky, and emphasised its age by taking its name from Old Tom Parr, who was buried in Westminster Abbey after passing away in 1635 at the (alleged) age of 152.
Macdonald Greenlees were the licence holders of the Glendullan distillery, and the blend also contains a significant proportion of Cragganmore single malt. Old Parr is no longer sold anywhere in Europe but remains an important export brand for Diageo in both Japan and South America, where it dominates the whisky market in Colombia.
