Grand Old Parr Appraisal

Grand Old Parr 12 Year Old De Luxe Blended Scotch Whisky Miniature

This is a vintage miniature bottle of Grand Old Parr 12 Year Old De Luxe Blended Scotch Whisky, estimated to be from the mid-to-late 20th century (likely 1970s or 1980s based on the tax stamp and labeling). The bottle is constructed from distinctive amber-colored glass with a 'crinkled' or dimpled texture on the body, which is a signature design element of the Old Parr brand meant to mimic traditional stoneware. It features a gold-toned metal screw cap and an intact pink/red floral pattern tax or seal stamp over the closure, suggesting it is unopened. The front label is oval-shaped with an aged cream background, featuring red and black typography that displays the brand name and the age statement of 12 years. The liquid content is listed as 50ml or 1 11/16 oz. The condition of the label appears good with minor edge wear and some slight yellowing consistent with age. There is no visible evaporation (fill level appears high), and the glass remains free of significant cracks or chips. The craftsmanship reflects premium spirits marketing of the era, focusing on the historical namesake, Thomas Parr, who reportedly lived for 152 years.
