In stock
This elegant 27-year-old Imperial, distilled in 1998—the distillery’s final year of production—offers a rare glimpse into a lost Highland gem. It conjures images of a summer meadow at golden hour, where wildflowers sway and citrus scents drift on the breeze. Fully matured in refill bourbon barrels and bottled at 42.2% ABV, it unveils notes of beeswax, honey, and orchard fruits, culminating in a lingering finish of quiet grace — unmistakably Imperial in its refined character.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright golden amber with warm honey hues and subtle bronze edges, a sunlit, inviting glow.
Nose
A sun-warmed bouquet of citrus zest and orchard fruit unfolds, carried on hints of beeswax and honey. Subtle wildflowers drift through the aroma, while a pale vanilla edge from refill bourbon lends creaminess and quiet grace to the nose.
Palate
Silky, waxy texture carries beeswax and honeyed sweetness, with orchard fruits—green apple, pear, and lemon zest—interlaced with vanilla and a whisper of almond. Subtle oak adds gentle spice; the finish is long, refined, and citrus-laced.
Finish
Polished and enduring, the finish unfolds with beeswax and honey, weaving through orchard fruit and citrus hints. It settles into a soft, graceful fade, leaving a refined warmth and a whisper of sweetness that lingers with Imperial’s signature poise.
