History

Imperial distillery was built by Thomas Mackenzie in 1897.[1]

In 1925, Imperial joined The Distillers Company.[1]

in 1989, Imperial distillery was sold to Allied Distillers.[2]

The distillery was demolished in 2013 and a new distillery, Dalmunach, established on the site in 2015.[3][4] Pernod Ricard bought Allied in 2005.[3]

Whisky

Imperial distillery operated sporadically between 1897 and 1998.[5] Imperial was mothballed and reopened several times in its hundred-year history. The only official bottling was a 15-year expression, released in the mid 1990s.[3]
