Prima & Ultima Third Release
A Moment In Time
Prima & Ultima, a series of unique whiskies, the first or last of their kind, returns this year for a third installment. Representing the almost lost, the historic, and the one-off’s. This year’s collection adds to the growing narrative of Scotland’s rich liquid history.
The Curator
Diageo Master Blender Dr Craig Wilson takes up the baton, following Master of Malts Maureen Robinson, and the inaugural selection made by celebrated master blender Dr Jim Beveridge OBE. Dr Wilson’s reputation precedes him – he is well-known in the Scotch whisky industry for his attention to detail and passion for unearthing remarkable whiskies. He has applied his experience to restoring the Brora spirit and creating new releases from Port Ellen.

Firsts and Lasts
Port Ellen 1980 is the oldest release from this distillery, taken from two casks filled the year the Queen visited, and the last of 1980. Matured exclusively on Islay, overlaying the whisky with notes of brine and seaweed. Meanwhile Brora 1981 is considered the rarest publicly available whisky from the distillery. The last Talisker casks from 1984 bring another maritime note to the collection, while two exploratory whiskies – a Royal Lochnagar from 1981, and a Mannochmore from 1990 capture the spirit of innovation. The oldest whisky in this year’s selection comes from the oldest casks of Cragganmore, while a 28 year old Lagavulin 1993 celebrates the beginning of a golden era of awards for the celebrated Islay distillery. The Singleton of Glen Ord finishes the line with a dual claim to the Prima & Ultima title, being the first ever 1987 vintage release, taken from the last remaining casks of 1987.
Rare & Exceptional
Due to their rarity, there are only 317 sets available for purchase, through Prima & Ultima agents at a recommended price of £36,500. Each set includes a 20ml tasting sample alongside the full vintage bottlings. For the first time, a selection of individual bottles are also available to purchase offering the opportunity to experience whiskies that will never be made again. Interested in purchasing?
