Imperial (silent) Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 9 Year Old · 1991 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a warm, honey-gold glow.

Nose

Sherry-rich and fruit-forward, the nose unfolds with raisin, fig and dried apricot, brightened by orange zest. Toasted almond and vanilla mingle with warm spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—balanced by polished oak. A subtle cocoa note and a whisper of leather complete an elegant, old-world aroma.

Palate

Silky and opulent, this Imperial treats the palate to sherry-woven sweetness. Dried fruits—prune, fig, raisin—sit against almond, cocoa and a kiss of orange zest. Subtle oak and spice awaken with a gentle warmth, yielding a refined, lingering finish that charms with quiet complexity.

Finish

Medium to long, refined finish with a gentle sherry influence. Dried fruit and almond notes linger with subtle spice and dark chocolate, fading into toasted nut and a whisper of orange zest. Elegant and polished, the finish leaves a warm, lingering glow.
