This bottling of a blended whiskey with the name Imperial was produced by Hiram Walker & Sons Inc. The whiskey is 4 years old and older and consists of 70% grain whiskey and 30% straight whiskey.
Whiskey production in the United States is dominated by about a dozen large distilleries, so that almost all whiskey sold comes from a single distillery, and blended whiskey is almost non-existent as a mixture of the whiskey of several distilleries.
The terms single barrel for whiskey from a single cask and small batch for whiskey from a relatively small number of casks have become established as distinguishing features.
