Established in 1897 near the small village of Carron in Speyside, Imperial underwent several periods of closure and reopening before production finally ceased in 1998.
Much of its output was destined for blends, with official releases from Imperial remaining extremely limited and most examples appearing through independent bottlers. Following its final closure, the distillery was eventually demolished, with Dalmunach later constructed on the site in 2015.
Imperial's character is often associated with a gentle and floral spirit style. We appreciate the distillery for its distinctive character and excellent long-term maturation potential. As stocks continue to diminish, well-matured examples from this lost Speyside distillery remain highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
