Single malt - Speyside 
Amber
56.6% ABV
Dram

Nose: Fresh baked bread, black tea, raisins, ginger, white pepper, hints of chocolate. With water, leather, sea salt, dried blueberries, hints of roast pork. 
Mouthfeel: Medium body, thickens, hot, syrupy. 
Tasting:  Bitter sweet. Fresh baked bread, chocolate, raisins, cinnamon, white pepper, ginger, dried blueberries. With water, dried blueberries, ginger, sea salt, chocolate. 
Finish: Long. Raisins, white pepper, cinnamon, chocolate, dried blueberries. 

Comments: 

Fruity and full bodied, the cask strength makes this whisky complex and inviting. Lots of dried blueberry notes, alongside some spicy ginger. Luscious, although not what one expects from Imperial (lighter, and perhaps a little more herbal rather than fruity). 

Verdict:

I like this.
