The Ultimate Whisky Library
Prestige Singapore|August 2020
Curated by respected whisky maker Dr Jim Beveridge, Prima & Ultima is the first series of eight historical and rare vintage single malts that are the first and last of their kind.
The Ultimate Whisky Library

PRIMA & ULTIMA is the first contribution to a new series of eight collectible releases of magnificent, incredibly rare single malts launched by Diageo. Drawn from a tiny number of sought-after stocks from celebrated distilleries across Scotland including Mortlach, Talisker and Lagavulin, each cask-strength bottling is the first and last of its kind and represents distinct pivots in the recent history of Scotch.

To commemorate the remarkable inaugural collection, every single vintage malt was personally selected by one of the world’s – and Diageo’s – most distinguished whisky makers, Dr Jim Beveridge OBE, who says: “Over the past 40 years, I have worked intimately with our distilleries across Scotland and I’ve been fortunate enough to witness great change in the whisky industry. Each of the eight whiskies I’ve selected for Prima & Ultima tells a tale of heritage and craftsmanship, and I’ve chosen them from distillers of great personal importance to me.”
