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.

Prima and Ultima Fourth Release entire collection

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.
