VisitingImperial is not open to the public.
Vital Stats
Imperial was built by the owners of nearby Dailuaine to expand their production, but closed within a year after the Pattison crisis in the Whisky industry. Has been closed more than open during its history - longest continuous period of production was 1955 to 1985. Closed since 1998. Bought by Pernod Ricard in 2005, they ddi nothing with the site until October 2012 when they announced that they were planning to build a new distillery on the site. The new distillery, Dalmunach, has a considerably larger capacity than the former Imperial.
