Imperial 1997 Gordon & MacPhail Cask Strength
Lot number: 101-01254
Winning bid: £140
Founded in 1895, Gordon & MacPhail has been bottling single malt whiskies for 120 years and by the 1950s it held the largest range of bottled malt whiskies in the world. This family-run business has bottled the oldest single malt whisky in the world - a Mortlach 1939 75 Year Old - as well as being a distiller itself after buying Benromach in 1993. They bottle whisky across several ranges including Connoisseurs Choice, the Private Collection, and their most exclusive, Generations.
A distillery that was closed more than it was ever open - missing out on the high times of single malt whisky - Imperial produced whisky mainly for blending. However, the floral flavours of their whisky has grown in popularity in recent years and stock is starting to run low. While the buildings were demolished in 2013, the up-side is that they have made way for the new and rather stunning Dalmunach distillery so it's not all bad news.
