About Imperial

Imperial is a whisky distillery. Imperial 1990 Cognac Wood Finish Gordon & MacPhail is a no-age-statement bottling, distilled in 1990.

What drives this bottle's value

  • Closed / ghost distillery

    Imperial was demolished in 2013, so its surviving bottlings are finite.

  • Single vintage

    Distilled in a single year (1990), so the available batch is inherently finite.

  • Named / limited release

    Released as Imperial 1990 Cognac Wood Finish Gordon & MacPhail, a named edition rather than part of the standard core range.

These are scarcity and demand signals drawn from the bottle's own attributes — they describe the bottle, not a prediction of future price. Not investment advice.
