Description
The ImpEx Collection was started by Sam Filmus, President and Managing Director of ImpEx Beverages (hence the name), and Chris Uhde, his longtime business partner. Both men have worked with and imported some amazing brands over the years so it is no surprise that their single cask selections have been very sought after. A few of these brands include Kilchoman, Single Cask Nation, Adelphi, GlenAllachie, Port Askaig, Ardnamurchan, Fukano and more.

Cask #304172
Aged 13 years; matured for 9 years in first-fill hogshead and finished for 4 years in a refill PX sherry cask
Distilled December 2011 | Bottled September 2025
Brand Tasting Notes: Aromas of cherry blossom and ripe plums evolve into rich, creamy, stewed-fruit sherry goodness, accented lightly with baking spice and toasted nuts. Lingering and luscious, with a persistent cherry note reasserting itself on the finish.
One of the oldest legal whisky-making sites in Scotland (originally named Aldour and changed in 1825), Blair Athol found its mission in blends, becoming first a part of the Peter Mckenzie blending house in 1896 and eventually the principal ingredient in Bell’s blended whisky (the most popular brand of blended whisky in the UK in the 1970s). Absorbed by Diageo in the late 1980s (a 12-year, age-stated expression has been released by Diageo as a part of the Flora & Fauna series), Blair Athol produces a spirit that is nutty and spicy in character, and though it often goes into ex-bourbon casks, it has the heft and burliness to flourish in ex-sherry, as it does in this bottling.
