Imperial (silent) - Private Collection - Single Cask #5619 1979 42 year old Whisky 70CL
$6562.99 price per bottle
Founded in 1897 by Thomas MacKenzie, the opening of the rather grandly named ‘Imperial’ distillery coincided with Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, no doubt an influencing factor in its naming! Sadly the distillery closed just one year after opening, with a 20 year gap in production. This rare 1979 vintage bottling by independent bottler Gordon and MacPhail showcases a beautiful example of this closed distillery. A single Re-fill American Hogshead was used drawing only 61 bottles. Tasting Notes: Nose: Sweet honeycomb notes combine with vanilla custard and a subtle hint of beeswax polish. Cocoa powder develops alongside pecans and soft baked apple. Taste: Ripe red apples intertwine with clove-studded tangerine. Malted biscuit flavours come to the fore accompanied by chocolate-covered hazelnuts and faint Seville orange zest. Finish: A full and long finish with black pepper and light herbal tones.
