Just opened my bottle (recently acquired) in tribute to my father (RIP 1930-2016) also because it was probably the first bottle i ever tried & also a gift to my family long time ago. It is finally available in France so I'm glad about it...The late 2019 or 2020 batch I have is wonderful, amazing complexity there, and I recognized the Cragganmore style in it (it is the heart of this whisky, so I'm glad about it). No overpowering oak here, no short finish, rather decent...Very complex...Super balanced, I'll review it later on after some tries...Thanks Ralfy for reminding us of this little wonder ! Cheers !
I was an exchange student in Santa Cruz, Bolivia 1993. This was the drink of choice for every male over 30 years of age. very very popular. I haven't been able to find it here in New Zealand since
I have a bottle here that's been sitting for 50 years in parents place. Unbelievably yummy. Tastes like what a fantasy whiskey taste like. Unbelievable. So yumm
Grand Old Parr is probably the best scotch I've tried, including scotch that is much more expensive, and this is from someone who prefers single malt, be it bourbon or scotch. Always neat!
This was one I tried back in the day... Grand Old Parr, as it was known then (12yrs.) One of the better of the blends, imo. Comparable to Pinch in quality.
I gave it 89 pts. back in the day, in between, Chivas 12 (88 pts.) and Pinch 15 (90 pts.) That was 20 years ago. I have tried the Chivas 21, but for the age, I was somewhat disappointed. I thought the wood was too prominent, but there was complexity present, along with the expected smoothness. I would give that about 92. This makes me looking forward to my recently purchased bottle of Chivas 18 - it may well prove better than the 21 (!) I'll be placing up my review on your Chivas 18 site.
Ralfy. On another note, what is your experience of a blended Whisky I tried in my late 20's early 30's in Ecuador. I had almost completely forgotten about it. And I remembered that I used to love this blend... House of Lords! The researches I have made always take me to a dead end. Please tell me this scotch Whisky is still around, still good and still revered. Thank you Ralfy! Keep on the great job you are doing, from all of us: Malty, Alma Matters, Maniac, Maestros!
Ralfy, are in your plans in the near future to re-evaluate some of the reviews that you have made since the beginning of your site? Nobody better than you knows that quality in blends and malts do change, maybe some have gone bad, maybe some have improved? To the extent that a re-evaluation is in order. After all, to me at least, your reviews have become "an industry standard"! Thank you Ralfy once more.
so curious for this one ..... i had an old parr superiour (18 y apparently), and it is one of the best blends i ever had ..... it totaly suprised me with its spicy notes like no other .. i recently bought this 12 yo to exlpore , from a specialiced shop mine has a diffent label and box also . the number on the box is also intresting (LLAA00000031) hoping this is an early version of it from the 80's or one of the first batches of 0,50 releases
Ralfy, Being in Louisiana (where state law prohibits internet/online distilled spirit sales and such sales are only allowed through state sanctioned distributors), we can't get Old Parr Bl Sc. However, we can get Buchanans Bl Sc. While in this mini series of blends, could you include Buchanans 12 yr Bl Sc. Thanks. Thanks, for your efforts about whiskys. I've learned a ton from you about whisky.
reminds me of late 1980s-1990s white horse whiskies that i've been drinking lately because of the sherried and smoky notes also it's mouthwatering like older white horses maybe is some lagavulin in old parr? we will never know ...
That closed up on first drams character comes from a layer of high lignin content whisky at the top of the bottle. Treating the first 3-4 drams of whisky in a bottle as a way to work one's way into waht it has to offer is the way to go. This is one reason why you should taste the bottle not the dram. E.g. I liked Springbank at first sip, but I came to love it only after taking a bottle home. Whisky is like that Actually everything is like that.
Once again love your reviews. Im trying a bottle of "Old Virginia" Boubon tonight. I have heard good things about it for a lower priced American Whisky.
Now that's it's reviewed. Ralfy, the whopping "raisin" smell+taste I got reminds me of the same smell from JW black label and Talisker. Would Talisker be in this blend? Also the G.O.P. I poured was the colour of Lagavulin... yours is a lighter colour. Anyway it wasn't a bad whisky at all but I think the bottle at my dads house was just too old and the alcohol was too low...
Hi Ralfy, You mentioned grain whisky in this vblog. Any recommendations for readily available grain whiskies or blended whiskies with a prominent grain influence that we can learn from? In Japan I can get Nikka Single Cask Coffey Grain but it is very expensive. Why are grain whiskies hard to find? They don't seem that popular.
Lol. I am also a Scotch malty type of guy. However, every so often, some nice good, but inexpensive American Whys (of which there are many inexpensive, but really good Am whys) and some good Irish Whys (of which there are a pretty fair number) are a good change of pace. Such diversions allow one to better appreciate the fine qualities of those wonderful, dear, and malty Scotches, both blends and Singles. Slainte. :)
Ralfy - In light of your opening comments about review requests, I would like to make a request... Perhaps my favorite every day Scotch is Highland Park 12. I've heard nothing but glowing reviews for HP 18. I know that it's a bit pricey, but is HP 18 a bottle you would consider purchasing and reviewing? I know you recommended it in one of your earlier videos, but I'm very curious to hear your tasting and nosing notes. Cheers!
Ralfy, Do you have a quick opinion on Hogshead Blended Malt Sc Why 43%. Yesterday, I had an opportunity to purchase a 750 ml bottle for $30US in the New Orleans, Louisiana area. However, despite having the bottle in my basket, I returned it and didn't purchase it, because I had not seen a review on Hogshead. Thanks. PS: As an aside, yesterday, I did purchase Ballantines 12yr Bl Sc and Pig Nose 5yr Bl Sc. Both were most pleasant and enjoyable drams. On these, I used your reviews. Thanks.
My dad used to talk about a spirit called John Parr and everywhere I went people told name they didn't know what that was. Now I'm thinking he meant Old Parr. Hmmm, have to pick a bottle up. Thanks once again Ralfy
I recently found a MacDonald Greenlees whisky here in Santiago Chile called Sandy Mac. I picked up a litre bottle for 7900 pesos/£7.90. Apparently it is a 6 year old whisky that, like Old Parr, is no longer distributed in the UK. I wouldn't recommend Sandy Mac though as it has a nasty cheap alcohol like flavour. Also, I managed to pick up a great double pack offer in a local supermarket which consists of a bottle of JW Black and a litre bottle of Old Parr for the price of 29.990 pesos (around £30.00). Whisky here is generally cheaper than in the UK. If that's not a good enough reason to move to Latin America then I don't know what is. :o)
Ralfy, thank you for that great review on The Grand Old Parr scotch whisky! I have information from a book called "The World of Whisky" by Gilbert Delos. It shows there that Grand Old Parr Is the son of "Grand Old Malts" like Cragganmore and Glendullan A Whisky that is revered up to mythical proportions, not only in Colombia, but in Ecuador (were the boss reference is "oh so true") as well! I want to know, if given the option to chose as a gift, between a bottle of Grand Old Parr or Johnnie W
Hi Ralphy, I happen to be one of your avid fans and ahve tried the ones you have reviewed. Was in Sri Lanka a few months back and a friend suggested the VSOA very special old ARRACK. Trust me it was beautiful. Enjoyed it immensely. Hope you get a bottle of the same. DCLS VSOA. Cheers.
With all due respect, when you watch Ralfy, you don't must have a Scotch. He has reviewed Irish Whiskeys in R119,38,192,120,121,122,123,124,125,126. He covered American whys in R153 and about 10 following reviews. He covered Mexican distilled in R263 & four following. There you go.
Hi hysteriks, Don't know where you live, but if you want to try a really good Canadian whisky give Tangle Ridge a try. Its very good. Crown Royal is like the Smirnoff of vodka or the Glenlivit of scotch, a basic mass produced product
I wanted to know, if given the option to chose as a gift, between a bottle of Grand Old Parr or Johnnie Walker Black Label (both 86/100), which one would you choose? Keeponwalker
Hi Ralfy, The SMWS is opening next fall here in Vancouver, Canada. What's your take on this organisation ? I've never heard of this group until now. I really like cask strength whisky, but it seems rather expensive to join and maintain a membership Can you offer any insights ? Love your vlog. Keep 'em coming! Cheers, Peter
thanks for the time for reviewing these whiskies i've just got hooked myself however have you tried any of the royal lochnagar whisky? i.e. 12 year or the distillers editions?
Hey Ralfy you remember 'the sopranos' ? and now its ' breaking bad' but these were/are series that we couldnt/cant wait until the next episode!! Not unlike yourself good man, except for the nomenclature that is (-; Im sure, like alotta other anoraks out here in the ether, can't wait until the "next episode" of Ralfys maltstuff!!...seriously. and thats genuine g' buddy. cheers
i'm trying not to finish my bottle of double black till you review... hey ralfy, i just picked up a bottle of kilkerran work in progress 3, what are your thoughts?
Hello Ralfy, sounds like you're experiencing some heavy rainfall during the production of this video. What is it with the summer this year? Kind regards, Thomas
Ralfy, Aug 10,12, for $30US, bought Hogshead Bl Malt 43%. On the first two tastings, it was terrible: taste & aroma like old, bad cardboard. 3rd & 4th, began to open up & taste & smell better. By 6th & 7th time, finally got good & made sense: taste&aroma: nice Islay malt with some sweetness. 8th & later tasting, it's well nigh great. Early on, bottle shock. Later, with oxygen, opened up nicely. AstorWines says HH's:70%Lagavulin/30%Linkwood. Inverheath Ltd, Edinburgh. Try it. No disappointment.
Maybe its just me but I have noticed that after a couple of drams I start to get a headache,does`nt matter what whisky it is.Does this happen to you Ralfy??? is it something in the whisky or is it just me.Any one else out there that this happens too.Old Parr is one whisky we don`t get here in western Canada.Cheers to the aqua vitea.
i get this with some rums. i work in spirit industry and try allot of products, so its not a medical issue on my behalf. I can actually sell a bottle and know ill get a headache. seems to be the real mollasses heavey rums. might be the quality of the spirit also. if u are only drinking cheaper blends then maybe go to a bar and try a nip of something light like a lowland (ie Glenkinchie) and see what happens.
May I just add, although rather trivial, a bottle of Old Parr can stand by just one of its rather round bottom corners. Probably that's the only whisky in the world with such feature.

it's a very mild very mellow kind of scotch two mild and two mellow it's like drinking flavored distilled water I use it to cut other Scotch that taste like feet taste like grass when I can get the top off when I get the unscrew top off I have always I bought about 10 bottles so far in the past few years lately just lately the screw caps will not come off three out of four will not come off why do I need to be aggravated with this why do I have to make so many trips back and forth to Green's discount beverage in Greenville South Carolina why can't old par fix this quality control issue 75% failure three out of four is 75%
Taking a drink along with you. It's like going out to a bar in Scotland and listening you educate me on this scotch. I love it.
Just opened my bottle (recently acquired) in tribute to my father (RIP 1930-2016) also because it was probably the first bottle i ever tried & also a gift to my family long time ago.

Thank you for all you do Ralfy. The whisky reviews always make my day and have me looking forward to trying many different whiskys!
This is my favorite whisky so far! I love everything about it.
After watching hundreds of these this is the first time I noticed those cards are old chocolate wrappers. Love the up cycling! 🤟🏼
And after all the years, cheap , expensive, age statement, And etc.. this really is a gem!!
Cheers!
As always a gorgeous review. Old Parr is still on my shopping list.
I was an exchange student in Santa Cruz, Bolivia 1993. This was the drink of choice for every male over 30 years of age. very very popular. I haven't been able to find it here in New Zealand since
Just got this in Japan 3,300 yen about £17
result!!
Nice stuff & a litre too!!
+TheBritishLegions i pay'd 32 euro for a 0,50 bott hhahahaha and still happy
Debonair Extraordinaire lol your were stung!

Would wish you to review it again!!
With other blends too..

This was one I tried back in the day... Grand Old Parr, as it was known then (12yrs.) One of the better of the blends, imo. Comparable to Pinch in quality.
Love the long reviews Ralfy! Historical tidbits about whisky are very interesting! I need to find some books on this...
It was this one that got me into whisky. Much respect for this one
It sounds like after a few days you acquired a taste for it. I can't wait for another review that knocks your socks off. Thanks for the vlog.
I gave it 89 pts. back in the day, in between, Chivas 12 (88 pts.) and Pinch 15 (90 pts.) That was 20 years ago. I have tried the Chivas 21, but for the age, I was somewhat disappointed.

Enjoyed your review. My favorite with drambuie for a rusty nail! 2 oz parr 1oz drambuie 1oz water heaven!
old Parr. ......a paradise!
Bought a bottle recently and I’m curious if you’ve revisited it since this review and if you still regard it as a solid blend.
Old Parr 15 Years, Recomendable 100%

Hello, Ralfy. Which kind of sugar whisky blenders use? Cane sugar or a beet sugar. And could it be changed to a fructose for the softer taste?

Does whisky have a long shelf life after it has been opened?
How are you enjoying the Summer Ralfy? x

i am just woundering if u would consider Jim Beam wiskey
I received a bottle of Old Parr 12 year old from 1982,
can you please let me know if it is worth opening or keeping for my collection?
Blends generally have less collectable value unless bottled long ago, so this ones more of a drinker !
i get this with some rums. i work in spirit industry and try allot of products, so its not a medical issue on my behalf.

What special surprise do you have on tap for magical Whisky Review 300?
May I just add, although rather trivial, a bottle of Old Parr can stand by just one of its rather round bottom corners. Probably that's the only whisky in the world with such feature.

This would be an excellent catchphrase.
I just got a Grand Old Parr De Luxe 12 year bottled at 43%
The thing I hate about blends, in general, is you know there is some horrible stuff in there being papered over by decent malts and grains.
TJCII 135 deffo, Kelpie's baws, out of date Haggis and that deep friend mars bar, all go in to the Parr jar
great review !!
very good whisky
I found this whisky wonderfully smokey.
Try Lagavulin 16. It will change your life
Booze lover said it all in their review. "Sometimes you just want to get pished" ....Enter the Parr.
I found it rough and not pleasing. Alchohol burn present. Not my favourite
Ong jit tuck man up ya bufty!
Yes. It’s rough. But I think it would be good with mix. Parr & 7up is very good. The flavor of the whisky lingers.
GREAT STUFF.ONE OF THE BETTER 12 YEAR OLDS.
AV RAMPERSAD/TRINIDAD.
This is the best whisky for mixing with orange juice. You won't regret it.
Hello, little Cyberman!
This will erase your taste buds ralfy! It happened to me with Ballantine's.
2:40 LOL, that made me crack up
Why is it that when I watch a Ralfy video, I MUST have a scotch?
Ardmore...?
Ralfy, may I suggest keeping the reviews, for one bottle, to about a 10 minute maximum?
not big issue... but u have a little static on this video. maybe mic connection?!
it's a very mild very mellow kind of scotch two mild and two mellow it's like drinking flavored distilled water I use it to cut other Scotch that taste like feet taste like grass when I can get the top off when I get the unscrew top off I have always I bought about 10 bottles so far in the past few years lately just lately the screw caps will not come off three out of four will not come off why do I need to be aggravated with this why do I have to make so many trips back and forth to Green's discount beverage in Greenville South Carolina why can't old par fix this quality control issue 75% failure three out of four is 75%
True. But I am just a scotch kind of guy. :)

Yeah, that is a good question..how does the mind of a Scottish person work ??
