Description

Founded in 1895, Gordon & MacPhail has been bottling single malt whiskies for 120 years and by the 1950s it held the largest range of bottled malt whiskies in the world. This family-run business has bottled the oldest single malt whisky in the world - a Mortlach 1939 75 Year Old - as well as being a distiller itself after buying Benromach in 1993. They bottle whisky across several ranges. This Imperial 1991 bottling by Gordon & MacPhail is a distinctive independent bottling from the now-closed Imperial distillery, which operated sporadically between 1897 and 1998. The distillery was built in 1897 during Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.

Light-textured, offering tangerine, nectarine, honey, and vanilla, developing into fragrant oak, milk chocolate, and subtle almond with a touch of black pepper.
