Prima & Ultima Fourth Release
A Hand Curated Liquid Library
Prima & Ultima, the esteemed anthology of rare and collectible vintage Single Malt Scotch Whiskies, returns for its fourth release. Comprising eight remarkable bottlings that are the first and last of their kind. Hand-selected from some of the finest distilleries in Scotland, this release presents the chance to build one of the rarest and most exceptional liquid libraries in the world.
The Curator
Master Blender Dr Emma Walker takes up the mantle from Prima & Ultima’s previous curators, Dr Craig Wilson, Maureen Robinson and Dr Jim Beveridge OBE, each highly respected within the industry with over a century of experience between them.
Celebrated as a true master of malt, Dr Emma Walker has spent a luminous career at the forefront of Diageo’s finest work in whisky. Her first hand experience of these liquid legends truly comes to life in this vivid and personal selection of Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
Firsts and Lasts
Each whisky from the collection holds a story of a first and a last of its kind, including pioneering experiments and the dwindling remains from long lost ghost distilleries.
The fourth release includes the oldest whisky ever to be bottled from Talisker Distillery – a Talisker 46-Year-Old, an experimental Single Malt from Clynelish, and a Lagavulin heralding from 1997, known as a golden year for the Islay distillery.
Oban Distillery debuts with its very last casks from 1996, chosen for its unique coastal character, uncharacteristic of the distillery
Additionally, the last ever 1977 American oak hogsheads from Brora Distillery and the final 1978 American oak hogsheads from Port Ellen have been carefully curated from these reawakened ghost distilleries.
Rare & Collectable
Only 413 full sets of the Prima & Ultima Fourth Release are available for purchase, through appointed Prima & Ultima agents . Individual bottlings from the fourth release are also available.
