Old Parr

 

面對老人，照顧老人，總是要有耐心，甚至寬容以對，畢竟有朝一日我們也會老邁。

Old Parr was introduced in 1909 by Greenlees Brothers of London and Glasgow.^[3] It takes its name from the reputed oldest man in Britain, Old Tom Parr.^[4] The name emphasised the maturity of the product. The brand was initially successful in London, before finding popularity in export markets.^[5][3]

Following a series of mergers, Greenlees became a part of MacDonald Greenlees & Williams. In 1925, the company was acquired by Distillers Company, which was acquired by Guinness, which merged in 1997 to form Diageo.^[6][3]

Blends[edit]

The standard blend is the 12-year-old called Grand Old Parr (40% ABV).^[3] The 15-year-old blend is known as Old Parr (43%), and the 18-year-old is known as Old Parr Superior (43%).^[6]

Old Parr Superior was launched in 1989, and is blended in small quantities in Scotland twice a year.^[7][8]

Discontinued blends Old Parr Tribute and Old Parr Elizabethan, the latter launched in the mid-1980s, retailed at a higher price than Superior.^[9]

In 2014 a new Old Parr Tribute was introduced for the Colombian market.^[10]
