Imperial 1989

AFICIONADO 2026

In 1897, the Imperial Distillery was built among lush woodland along the River Spey. This majestic Speyside single malt has often been elusive, becoming even more so when the distillery closed in 1998. Today, Murray McDavid presents this remarkable spirit from the fabled lost Imperial Distillery for the very first time!

“Having been matured for an impressive 34 years in a classic bourbon barrel, the magnificence of this remaining Imperial spirit has been beautifully preserved. We invite you to raise a dram of this historic single malt and take time to appreciate this scarce Speysider as it gets rarer and rarer, after each and every savoured sip.”
