Description
This exceptionally rare 33-year-old single malt from the now-silent Imperial Distillery is a distinguished release from the Exceptional Cask Collection. Distilled in 1989 and drawn from a single bourbon barrel (Cask No. 2069), it offers a complex and refined character with only 107 individually numbered bottles in existence.
The nose is rich and expressive, revealing layers of apricots, raisins, almonds, vanilla, and delicate hints of lemon zest and ginger. On the palate, vibrant fruit notes of red grapes and plums are complemented by warming spices such as cinnamon and ginger. Bottled at a robust 51.3% ABV in 2023, this Speyside treasure presents a long, indulgent finish of toffee, brown sugar, and sweet spice — a true collector’s gem.
