Tasting Notes

Colour

Natural amber-gold with warm honeyed copper highlights.

Nose

Honeyed malt opens the nose, giving way to tropical fruit—mango and pineapple—lifted by soft vanilla and a whisper of spice. Subtle oak and a creamy, waxy depth linger, hinting at three decades of elegant maturation.

Palate

On the palate, honeyed malt coats with creamy, full-bodied richness, revealing tropical fruit—pineapple and mango—woven with soft vanilla. Gentle spice—cinnamon and clove—lifts the sweetness, while the 53% ABV lends warmth and structure. The texture is beautifully rounded and slightly velvety, finishing long and elegant with lingering fruit and spice.

Finish

Long and elegant, it lingers with honeyed malt, tropical fruit brightness, soft vanilla and gentle spice, fading to a warm, refined 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.
