In 1909, Greenlees Brothers introduced (Ancient) Old Parr. They named their blend after the legendary figure of Thomas Parr, said to be England's longest-lived man, aged 152 when he died in 1635. His long life symbolized the maturity of the whiskies used in the blend, whilst his wisdom represented the skill and knowledge required to produce it. James and Samuel became two of the most skilled and successful pioneers of the blended whisky business of their time. Today, the Old Parr brand still reflects its founders' prodigious dedication to quality and craftsmanship.NOTES OF

“Thanks to the characteristics and potential of the vineyards at Quinta do Seixo, it was possible to cut through the strong maturations of this year's harvest. As a result, we produced very balanced and robust wines, with aromatic notes typical of more mature years.” - Luís Sottomayor, head of Sogrape's winemaking
