Consistently delicious. Imperial IMPERIAL 1995-2015 19 Year Old SIGNATORY The Un-Chillfiltered Collection #50213, 50214 46% Hogsheads The aroma features orange, faint peach and persimmon, vanilla, gentle barley notes, and a slightly creamy touch. On the palate, it has a soft mouthfeel with some spice, orange, vanilla, umami-rich barley, honey sweetness, a touch of oak, and a lingering oily finish. [Good/Very Good] This new release from Signatory's Un-Chillfiltered Collection is Imperial 1995, aged for 19 years. It's a vatting of two hogsheads from sister casks, a pattern that Signatory occasionally employs. While this vintage of Imperial has appeared in various places, the Un-Chillfiltered Collection version feels well-rounded, possibly due to dilution. It doesn't stand out particularly but offers a gentle bourbon cask influence, making it an ideal starter drink for the day.
