Grand Old Parr (often simply just Old Parr) is a blended Scotch whisky produced by Diageo in Scotland. Is named after the Old Tom Parr, the reputed oldest man in England. Launched in 1909, it is found in export markets such as Japan, Mexico, South America (especially Colombia) and the United States, and is no longer distributed in the United Kingdom. Old Parr is known for its distinctive dimpled and rounded bottle design. It retails at a premium price, and its competitor brands include Johnnie Walker Black Label and Chivas Regal. It also has an 18 year old Whisky bottle.

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]
