The ImpEx Collection is a labor of love derived from the heart of Sam Filmus, President and Managing Director of ImpEx Beverages.

Whether you find yourself looking for a dram of rare and unique wh**ky or you feel you want a special and select rum or mezcal, you can be sure that each bottle of The ImpEx Collection will take your passion for a spirit to new heights. He, along with his business partner Chris Uhde, has spent a great amount of time and passion selecting the casks that go into each bottle of The ImpEx Collection that you find on the shelf. After over 40 years of combined industry experience, you can tell that each Cask is unique and special, offering the best that different categories have to offer. The high expectations for quality and taste that Sam and Chris possess can be found in each sip of delicious juice. While we unveil the offerings from The ImpEx Collection, we hope you will find the taste and style that suits you best.

One cask. Eighteen years. 194 bottles.

From Jamaica’s Long Pond Distillery, this 2005 vintage spent 18 years aging in the tropics before being selected for The ImpEx Collection. Bottled from Cask #20 VRW at 58.6% ABV, this single-cask rum brings together vivid fruit, pronounced oak and an earthy, warmly smoky finish.

The profile moves from Red Delicious apple, white raisin and red licorice to cedar, fennel, orange peel, pine and a subtle to***co note.

Recognized with Double Gold at the 2025 International Spirits Competition hosted by Enthusiast Report Magazine, and 98 Points, Platinum and Best Rum at the 2025 Las Vegas Global Spirit Awards.

From the ImpEx Collection archives: Dailuaine 14 Year Old 2009.

Selected for Edition Four, this single-cask Speyside malt was matured in Hogshead #312079—a beautifully layered expression filled with character.

Coconut oil, tangerine, apricot, vanilla, and honeysuckle lead the nose. The palate brings warm citrus, subtle fennel, and Dailuaine’s signature waxy texture before apricot gives way to lingering green apple on the finish.

A memorable gem from a past collection. Were you fortunate enough to experience this one?

A closer look at one of the gems from The ImpEx Collection — Edition Five.⁠
⁠
The Ardmore 14 Year Old is a beautifully expressive single-cask Highland malt, matured in ex-Bourbon Barrel #802498 and bottled at a bold 59.2% ABV.⁠
⁠
Ardmore’s signature smoke runs through the wh**ky with layers of honeyed vanilla, warm oak, buttery shortbread and a touch of sea salt — building toward a long, warming finish where sweetness and peat meet beautifully.⁠
⁠
With just 163 bottles drawn from the cask, this is the kind of release that shows exactly why Ardmore continues to be such a rewarding distillery to explore through independent bottlings.⁠
⁠
A smoky Highland gem worth revisiting.⁠

Some casks don't ask for attention. They earn it.

The latest Blair Athol from The ImpEx Collection is one of those rare single casks that reveals itself layer by layer—rich stone fruit, luxurious sherry influence, warming spice, toasted nuts, and a finish that seems determined to stay with you.

Selected at cask strength and bottled with nothing to hide, this 13-year-old Highland single malt is a reminder that exceptional wh**ky isn't created by chance—it's discovered through patience, experience, and an uncompromising eye for character.

For collectors, enthusiasts, and those who appreciate singular moments in a glass, this is another chapter worth experiencing.

Some nights remind you why independent bottlings matter.

Edition Five of The ImpEx Collection made its way to Burbank, California as wh**ky enthusiasts gathered both in person and virtually across the country with the Virtual Tasting Society to experience the latest releases together. From deep discussion and shared pours to discovering the unique character behind each cask, Sam and Chris guided guests through another memorable evening celebrating individuality in wh**ky.

These aren’t mass-produced profiles. They’re singular snapshots of distillery character, selected to stand apart in a world of sameness.

Edition Five is now arriving in select retailers, wh**ky bars, and specialty establishments throughout the USA. Seek out your next favorite pour while these limited bottlings are still available.

Some casks don’t just age—they evolve.⁠
⁠
Introducing the 2010 14 Year Old Teaninich from The ImpEx Collection — a Highland single cask shaped by a Margaux red w**e barrique, where structure meets indulgence.⁠
⁠
Think baked apples, toasted nuts, and citrus blossoms carried on a coastal breeze… finishing long with golden raisins and roasted seeds. A dram that feels both nostalgic and elevated at the same time.⁠
Only 275 bottles. 57.9% ABV. No shortcuts.⁠
⁠
This is what happens when the right cask meets the right moment.⁠
