Imperial 1995-2013, 17yo, 51.2% – Creative Whisky Co., Tony Koehl Series
The Tony Koehl Series is a short series (four bottlings, if I’m not mistaken) by David Stirk, when he still owned The Creative Whisky Company. He doesn’t anymore since last year. I don’t know what happened with it, but when … Continue reading

Imperial 1995-2016, 20yo, 50.1% – Signatory for The Whisky Exchange
Before let’s say, 2014 or so, Imperial wasn’t on many people’s radar. They were a closed distillery but not one that had gotten a cult status, unlike Rosebank for example. For me that changed during the Blind Tasting Competition on … Continue reading

My favorite whiskies of 2014
I started doing my end-of-year lists yesterday with the music one. I love doing that since it makes me reconsider what I’m listening to for a large part of every day, and everybody else does their lists first so I get … Continue reading

Blind Tasting Competition 18: Imperial 18yo, 1995-2014, 52.4% – Signatory for Asta Morris
So, the final night of this year’s Blind Tasting Competition is upon us. This year, like last year I’ve sucked. This year, unlike last year, there we no ridiculous casks like Lepanto Brandy cask matured Deanston and no ancient ‘nobody … Continue reading

The Lost Distilleries Blend, Batch 4, 50.9% – The Blended Whisky Company/Master of Malt
As I’ve said plenty of times before, Master of Malt is not only a shop but also a bottler. Although, between the stuff they produce, have produced and bottle under one of their labels, you’d start to think it’s the … Continue reading
Imperial 16, 1994-2011, 57.4%, Bottled for The Whisky Shop Dufftown – Gordon & MacPhail Exclusive
Another sample I picked up at Maltstock. I think. I don’t know much about it, but I know I generally enjoy Imperial. Although, I never bougt a drop since I don’t think it is that special after all. It weirdly … Continue reading
Imperial 1979, 40% – Gordon & MacPhail
I recently (as in, today) received my newest auction winnings. A curious term, winnings. You didn’t win anything, you were just the idiot that wanted to pay most for something. Anyway, this sample of Imperial is an oldie from the … Continue reading
