Imperial 26 Year Old 1996 The Whisky Show 51.5% 70cl Balvenie some delicate oak and toastedImperial 26 Year Old 1996 The Whisky Show 51. 5% 70cl An interesting bourbon barrel matured bottling from now demolished distillery Imperial. The folks at The Whisky Exchange released this 26 year old single malt for the 2022 Whisky Show. And its fascinating indeed. The ghost distillery might have made way for Dalmunach but its elegant, floral, cream soda like style continues to win fans. This release is a stunning example of its unusual character.
