Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep golden amber with a sunlit copper glow and subtle mahogany edge.

Nose

Dark, aged aromas unfold with dried fig, raisin and plum, lacquered by gentle sherry sweetness. Cocoa, walnut and leather mingle with tobacco and spice, then a bright hint of orange zest rounds the scent, a ghost of decades in cask.

Palate

Silky, well-aged on the palate with quiet depth and refined sweetness. Dried orchard fruits and raisin mingle with honeyed vanilla, while toasted almond adds nutty richness. Subtle spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—winds through fine oak and a waxy note. Long, elegant finish with a delicate leather echo.

Finish

Long, refined finish of dark fruit and cocoa, folded into sherried oak with a whisper of spice. Velvet warmth lingers, flavored with toasted almond and a hint of sweetness that invites the next sip.

Imperial (silent)
(im-PEER-ee-ul) Imperial was founded in 1897 by Thomas Mackenzie in Carron, and the name was chosen to mark Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in the same year. Its history was unusually stop-start from the beginning: the distillery closed after just a year, reopened in 1919, fell silent again in 1925, returned in 1955, was mothballed in 1985, reopened under Allied Distillers in 1991, and then stopped for the last time in 1998. Chivas Brothers acquired the site in 2005, and Imperial was later demolished to make way for Dalmunach, which opened on the same site in 2015.
