About This Whisky

The Imperial 33 Year Old 1989 (cask 2069) is single malt produced in Speyside, Scotland. Distilled December 5th 1989 then bottled in 2023 at an ABV of 51.3% at natural cask strength, non chill-filtered to preserve its natural colouring. A single bourbon barrel bestowed its flavours richly over 33 years, producing a concentrated, age‑refined Speyside profile. Only 107 sequentially numbered bottles were produced, making this expression a prized collector's item.

About Imperial Distillery

Imperial Distillery

Imperial Distillery was a historic Speyside Scotch whisky distillery located in Carron, near Aberlour, Scotland, known for producing a light, fruity Speyside single malt whisky. Although now closed and demolished, Imperial remains highly regarded among whisky enthusiasts due to its rare and collectible independent bottlings.

Location

Imperial Distillery was situated in the heart of Speyside, one of Scotland’s most famous whisky regions, near the River Spey, an area known for producing elegant and refined single malts.

History

Founded: 1897 (to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee)

Built by Thomas Mackenzie (also associated with Talisker)

Experienced several periods of closure throughout its history

Closed permanently: 1998

Demolished: 2013

Owned by Chivas Brothers (Pernod Ricard) before closure

The site is now home to the modern Dalmunach Distillery, which replaced Imperial.

Whisky Style

Imperial was known for a classic Speyside flavour profile, typically featuring:

Fresh orchard fruits (apple, pear)

Honey and malt sweetness

Light citrus notes

Subtle floral character

Gentle spice and oak

Its spirit was generally lighter and more delicate, making it well-suited for blending, though single malt releases are now highly prized.

Availability & Collectability

As the distillery is no longer operational, Imperial single malt whisky is considered rare and collectible. Most bottles available today are:

Independent bottlings (e.g. Signatory Vintage, Gordon & MacPhail)

Single cask releases

Often aged expressions (20+ years) due to long maturation since closure

Interesting Fact

Imperial Distillery was known for operating intermittently, opening and closing several times over its lifespan depending on market demand—making its whisky even rarer today.
