- Description
- Imperial's 1998 distillate represents the final production from the now-closed Speyside distillery before its closure, having aged for 27 years in bourbon barrels. Living Souls' independent bottling captures mature, honeyed richness with notes of dried orchard fruit, heather, and subtle spice, delivered at a mellow 42.2% ABV. This is a historical whisky for collectors seeking a taste of a lost distillery at the height of its maturity.
