Murray McDavid unveils Imperial 35 Year Old from 1989, part of their new AFICIONADO collection of rare vintage single malts. This launch marks a significant moment for the independent bottler, which has distinguished itself since 1994 through thoughtful curation and respect for Scotland's distilling heritage.

This Speyside whisky has matured for 35 years and is bottled in small batches at natural colour without chill filtration. This approach preserves the full authenticity and distinctive character of the spirit. The AFICIONADO collection positions itself between Murray McDavid's Mission Gold series and their ultra-aged releases, making this Imperial a noteworthy addition for collectors of accessible vintage whiskies.

In the glass, this Imperial reveals a complex profile. The nose offers honey, malt, and subtle smoke, while the palate combines caramel, malt, and smoke. The finish remains dignified with hints of honey, malt, and oak character. This is a whisky for those who appreciate refined, well-matured Speyside expressions and understand the value of natural bottling practices.
