Imperial 1996 / 26 Year Old / The Whisky Show 2022 Speyside Whisky

70cl / 51.5% / Elixir Distillers – A 1996 Imperial single malt from the Whisky Show 2022 bottlings that shows off the distinctive character of this ghost distillery. Matured in a pair of ex-bourbon barrels for 26 years, is holds aromas of peaches and cream, orange juice, herbal honey, old paper and wax that fill the nose. The palate brings fruity notes of mango, apricot, blueberries, creamy vanilla cheesecake, green leaves and honey, fading into drying oak, peaches and chalky minerals that linger in the finish.
