IMPERIAL 30 ans 1989 B.Bros 47,9%
Single Malt Whisky, Scotland / Speyside, 70cl, Ref: 58624
C'est toujours un plaisir de déguster un whisky provenant d’une distillerie fermée, surtout quand ils ont autant de caractère que cet Imperial. Vieilli pendant plus de 30 ans en fût de chêne, ce Single Malt aborde une palette subtile et envoutante d’un vibrant remarquable pour son âge. Vraiment exceptionnel, c'est un dram digne d'une réflexion profonde. La distillerie Imperial était située à Carron dans le Speyside. Son nom est étroitement lié à la famille royale britannique car la distillerie a été créée en 1897, l’année du jubilé de diamant de la reine Victoria. Fermée depuis 1998, la distillerie est désormais démolie et son whisky toujours plus convoité. Pour une dégustation toujours plus précise, Berry Bros and Rudd a décidé de l’embouteiller brut de fût.

The brand
The Imperial distillery has a turbulent history. It has spent as much time closed as it has in operation. Founded in 1897, it first began distilling its whisky in the summer of 1898. Yet from 1899 to 1954, it was only in production for a total of eight years. It then very quickly fell into the hands of the Distillers Company Ltd, where the entirety of its production was used in blends, including Teachers, Long John and Ballantine’s. Once again mothballed between 1985 and 1989, and then again in 1998 to 2000, it is now permanently closed. Only one official version of its single malt was bottled, the Imperial 15 Year Old.
