- Description
- Imperial's 1990 vintage spent exactly 30 years in a single bourbon barrel, bottled at 41.7% ABV by independent bottler Càrn Mòr in their Celebration of the Cask series. Speyside character shows through with ripe tropical fruit alongside the vanilla and oak spice typical of long bourbon maturation. The extended aging mellows Imperial's typically robust character into something refined and approachable. A well-matured Speyside that demonstrates how careful cask selection defines three decades of whisky's development.
