- Description
- Imperial single malt is increasingly rare following the distillery's closure, making this Chapter 7 Monologue bottling—matured for 22 years and released in just 218 bottles—a genuine collectible. The distillery's signature fruit-forward, slightly grassy character develops additional complexity with two decades of wood maturation. Expect a delicate balance of orchard fruit, gentle wood spice, and a clean finish. A piece of closed-distillery history for those building comprehensive Speyside collections.
