1970 GM

About

Imperial 1970 GM is a classic Speyside single malt from a bygone era of this legendary distillery. This 1970 vintage, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail, offers a fascinating glimpse into Imperial's distinctive house style before the distillery closed in 2000. At 40% ABV, this whisky presents a refined balance between traditional maltiness and subtle complexity. The nose reveals layers of honeycomb, caramel and waffle, supported by sweet notes and a hint of spice. On the palate, cereal-driven flavours shine through alongside chocolate, orange oils and a dusty almond character, interspersed with a delicate saltiness. The finish delivers a pleasant caramel sweetness, though some tasters note an initial sharpness that gives way to a more harmonious experience.
