Cask Strength Single Cask

This 1998 Imperial single malt, bottled by independent bottler Hunter Laing, was matured for 23 years before being released in May 2022 as part of the Old & Rare series, celebrating Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. Expect a refined whisky with notes of ripe orchard fruits, honeyed vanilla, and a touch of oak spice. The long maturation adds complexity, with hints of soft malt and a delicate floral finish.

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.
