✦ Neatly Summary

Imperial 35 Year Old 1989 - Aficionado (Murray McDavid) is a 35-year-old single malt from Imperial (Speyside, Scotland), bottled at 42.7% ABV. Expect intensely smoky, vibrant and fruity and sweet character — fresh fruit, honey, vanilla, cooked fruit. Best suited for experienced drinkers who enjoy bold, complex whiskies. A collector's expression at a premium price point.

Imperial's long-closed Speyside distillery yielded this 35-year-old rarity, matured entirely in bourbon barrel from 1989 to capture the distillery's graceful house style. Tropical stone fruits and honeyed sweetness dominate, underpinned by a whisper of peat and soft, creamy mouthfeel that speaks to decades of slow maturation. The texture is silken with genuine age-softening evident throughout. A singular bottle for collectors pursuing lost Speyside distilleries and those valuing understated elegance.
