Imperial 5 Year Old – Robert Watson (1970's)

Imperial 5 Year Old – Robert Watson (Aberdeen) Ltd.

Vintage Blended Scotch Whiskey – 1 litre

This Imperial 5 Year Old is an old blended Scotch whisky from Robert Watson (Aberdeen) Ltd. , intended for the French market. It is a historic bottling , recognizable by the classic one-liter bottle, traditional label, and simple age statement.

Although its 5 year old may sound young today, this whisky should be read in its timeframe : a period when blends were formulated differently, often with a higher proportion of malt whisky and a more pronounced cask character than modern entry-level blends.

This is not a bottle for speed or cocktails, but a piece of whisky history .
