IMPERIAL 1998 Single Malts of Scotland 21 Year Old

IMPERIAL 1998 Single Malts of Scotland 21 Year Old

Originally known as Speciality Drinks, Elixir Distillers was established in 1999 as the independent bottling arm of The Whisky Exchange, which launched its online retail site the same year. Their first bottlings were under the Single Malts of Scotland label in 2005, followed by the Elements of Islay range and Port Askaig single malt brand in 2006 and 2009, respectively. The company was renamed Elixir Distillers as of 2017.

Imperial Distillery, located in Speyside, Scotland, was founded in 1897 by Thomas Mackenzie and operated under various names, including Imperial-Glenlivet and Glenlivet. It changed hands several times, eventually falling under the ownership of Distillers Company Limited (DCL), which later became part of Diageo. With a modest production capacity, it primarily contributed to blends but also released some single malt expressions. Financial difficulties led to its closure in 1998, and despite attempts to revive it, the distillery was ultimately demolished in 2013. Despite its closure, Imperial whiskies remain highly sought after by collectors, particularly those from its final years of production.

This Imperial was distilled in 1998 and bottled from a single barrel in 2020 from cask #103328. One of 104 bottles.
