Comments: 

A rarity from the closed Imperial distillery! This is a 18 or 19 year old distilled shortly before the distillery closed. It's rather good, with the usual cookie dough and gentle vanilla notes wreathed in cola nuts and grassy herbal notes. Good, but alas, not great.

Verdict:

I like this.
