- Description
- Imperial's 1995 vintage, matured in a single barrel for 25 years and bottled by The Whisky Exchange at 50.1%, shows the distillery in its approachable, fruit-forward style. Freshly-cut grass and barley sugar on the nose give way to toffee, ripe orchard fruit, and pineapple on the palate, with a clean, cereal-driven finish. The balance between grain sweetness and light oak influence makes this an excellent introduction to Imperial's character. Ideal for those discovering the closed distillery's refined, easygoing profile.
