Registration is now open for collectors around the world to acquire this highly limited release, hand-selected from some of the finest distilleries in Scotland, including legendary Brora and Port Ellen.
Prima & Ultima gives collectors and connoisseurs the opportunity to build an expertly curated liquid library of magnificent whiskies over time. Diageo’s fourth installment of its Prima & Ultima anthology of rare and collectable Single Malt Scotches marks the first time the entire lineup will be available to purchase in the United States, and the second time individual bottles can be purchased in the U.S.
Handpicked by DIAGEO Master Blender Dr. Emma Walker for their outstanding quality and character, 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. This Prima & Ultima release also features the debut of Oban Distillery to the collection with its very last casks from 1996, chosen for its unique coastal character, uncharacteristic of the distillery.
Exceptionally rare whiskies from the reawakened ghost distilleries Brora and Port Ellen have also been carefully curated by Dr. Emma Walker, with the last ever 1977 American oak hogsheads from Brora Distillery and the final 1978 American oak hogsheads from Port Ellen rounding out the collection.
Only 413 Prima & Ultima Fourth Release full sets are available worldwide through appointed agents. The suggested retail price for the fourth release of Prima & Ultima is $44,000 in the U.S. for the full-set, and when purchasers buy the complete set, they’ll receive an additional miniature set of each liquid.
An online registration page is open from September 13 to October 11, 2023 at www.theprimaandultimacollection.com for whisky collectors to register their interest, and from there a Prima & Ultima agent will reach out to coordinate purchase of these rare releases.
