Old Perth Solera (57,6% - 700ml)

Old Perth is a name with deep roots in the Scottish blending tradition. Born in 1908 in Perth by Peter Thomson, the brand developed a range of blends that became popular in Scottish pubs over the years. After a long period of absence, the brand was revived by Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers. Although today it is often associated with modern blended malts, Old Perth maintains an authentic connection to the history of Perth blending and, more broadly, to the quality Scottish blending tradition.

The Old Perth Solera is a blended malt Scotch whisky obtained exclusively from single malts sourced from Speyside and aged in just five ex-sherry casks from Jerez, which were used for approximately seventy years in the solera system. These are not ordinary sherry casks, but barrels with a very long history, which for decades held sherry and developed an extraordinary aromatic depth. This release was born almost out of necessity: after several years of maturation in the Scottish warehouses, some of the casks – now very old – began to lose the whisky they contained. Instead of re-racking, Morrison chose to bottle the contents, giving life to this special and probably unique edition. The result is a blended malt at 57.6% vol., non-chill filtered and with natural colour, which maximises sherry influence: a true “sherry monster”.
