Imperial 26 Year Old 1998 - Whiskyland Chapter Thirteen (Decadent Drinks) Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Delicate and impressive depth on the nose.

Palate: A very pleasant, rich and smooth taste in the mouth. Lovely texture.

Finish: Elegant long-lasting aftertaste.

Distillery Information

The Ballintomb Burn rises in the Mannoch Hills before running some two and half miles to the Imperial distillery, not far from the village of Aberlour. The decidedly colonial-sounding Imperial was named for Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in 1897; construction having commenced that same year. Thomas Mackenzie founded the Imperial. The distillery was designed by the prolific architect Charles Doig. The distillery lies in Moray, an eminent whisky region, though aesthetically the whisky distillery bares little semblance to its distilling neighbours; Imperial is made of Aberdeen red brick and utilizes an iron framework to protect the buildings from fire damage. Production was halted for two decades following the Pattison Crisis. Imperial reopened in 1919 following its acquisition by a group headed by Distillers Company Limited three years prior.
