Imperial Distillery was a single malt Scotch whisky producer located in Carron, Speyside, Scotland. Founded in 1897 by Thomas Mackenzie during the late Victorian whisky boom, the distillery experienced a tumultuous century of intermittent operation until its final closure in 1998. Throughout its existence, Imperial was mothballed and reopened multiple times (1925, 1955, 1989, 1998) due to economic downturns and changing market conditions, earning it a reputation as one of Speyside's most troubled distilleries. The only widely recognized official bottling was a 15-year-old expression released in the mid-1990s as part of Diageo's Flora & Fauna series, though a few rare distillery editions exist. The distillery was demolished in 2013, and in 2015, Chivas Brothers (Pernod Ricard) completed the state-of-the-art Dalmunach Distillery on the same site. Today, Imperial whiskies are highly sought-after collector's items, prized for their rarity and representation of a 'lost distillery' from Speyside's golden era.

Honestly this one’s alright, pleasant enough when you first sip it 🤌 You get that fresh barley and cut hay first, then bursts of fresh fruits and overripe apples, a little chamomile and herb note too, maybe a tiny bit of wax on the finish? It’s malty, fresh, nice medium weight, no complaints at all, it’s good. We’re talking points that are just pretty standard. Just a bit ordinary y’know? Gets a bit boring halfway through, we’re falling asleep a little by the end 😂 Nothing much to say really, typically an 83/84/85 for us lot, very good but of very average interest, even reminds me a bit of Blair Athol.

This one’s got a nice malty kick upfront, like barley and cut hay, with some fresh fruits dancing around. A bit of chamomile and herbal teas in the mix, which is pleasant enough. It’s good, honestly, but after a while it just gets a bit boring. Nothing too wild, just very average stuff. Still, it’s fine for a casual sip 🥃

Tastes like overripe apples and cut hay, bit malty too. Chamomile and herbal teas come to mind, nice and warm. We’re falling asleep but it’s good, just a bit ordinary. We’re talking points, but nothing wild. 🍏🌾

It's honestly just... fine. Like, it's good, but nothing jumps out at you, you know? I get some of that barley cereal thing, and a little touch of cut hay. There's a bit of wax, maybe some herbs - reminds me a little of brewing herbal teas or chamomile, actually. It's medium, pleasant enough, but gets a bit boring towards the end. Just a bit ordinary, really. Nothing much to say about it. It’s good, but of very average interest. 👍

啊,闻起来有点像稻草,还有点过熟苹果的味道,混着些草药茶的气息,洋甘菊挺明显的。 喝起来就是大麦和晒过的干草,尾调稍微带点蜡质感。 整体感觉吧…有点像在喝Blair Athol,挺好但就是让人有点犯困。没什么特别想说的,就是那种…还不错但也很普通的威士忌。喝着喝着就觉得有点无聊了。 不过也没什么不好,就是 okay,日常喝喝嘛。🙂
