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 whisky 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 whisky 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.

A Burnside that leans all the way into its cask… and doesn’t look back.

Distilled in 2011, aged 14 years, and finished in Château Latour barrique—this latest release from ImpEx Collection moves like a slow pour at golden hour.

Red berries, wildflowers, and honeyed malt open the door—then it deepens… black currant, stewed plum, vanilla oak… all carried with a weight and texture that only 63.8% ABV can deliver.
And just when you think it’s done—chocolate lingers, soft and deliberate.
261 bottles.
