- Description
- Imperial's 20-year journey from September 1995 through May 2016 captures the final years of this now-closed Speyside distillery, matured in a pair of hogshead casks and bottled un-chillfiltered by Signatory. The spirit retains Imperial's characteristic honeyed, slightly oily character with gentle oak integration and natural colour development. At cask strength, it delivers the full textural weight of two decades' maturation without dilution. A historical bottling for collectors and those curious about Speyside's lost distilleries.
