Tasting Notes
Nose Elegant and rich, with aromas of orchard fruits, honey, citrus zest, and vanilla, wrapped in polished oak and floral notes.
Palate Silky and complex, delivering flavours of ripe apple, pear, honeycomb, malt, and vanilla cream, balanced by gentle oak spice and herbal undertones.
Finish Long and graceful, with lingering fruit sweetness, honeyed malt, and refined oak depth.
The Imperial 30 Year Old 1990 is a rare Speyside single malt Scotch whisky from the long-lost Imperial Distillery. Distilled in 1990 and matured for three decades in a single bourbon barrel (#7531), it was bottled in October 2020 by Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers for the acclaimed Celebration of the Cask series. With only 135 bottles produced, this single cask release is a remarkable example of Imperial’s refined, fruit-forward style, preserved from a distillery that no longer exists.

The Distillery
Imperial
Founded in 1897 by Thomas Mackenzie, the historic Imperial Distillery was expertly designed by renowned architect Charles C. Doig and strategically located in Carron within Scotland’s prestigious Speyside whisky region. To honor Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, a magnificent golden crown was placed atop one of Imperial’s two malt kilns, symbolizing the distillery’s grandeur and significance. Equipped with four massive stills, Imperial produced exceptional single malt Scotch whisky until its closure in 1998. The distillery was ultimately demolished in 2013, but its legacy endures with the establishment of the new Dalmunach Distillery on the same site in 2015. Today, rare releases of Imperial malt whisky continue to be celebrated through independent bottlers like Signatory Vintage and Gordon & MacPhail, featuring prominently in their esteemed ranges. This enduring legacy ensures that Imperial Distillery remains a cherished name among whisky enthusiasts and collectors, highlighting its significant contribution to the rich tapestry of Scottish whisky heritage.
