ImpEx Beverages is back with its latest curated round-up of unique global spirits expressions in a single-cask form designed to appeal to those seeking choices of impeccable quality.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ImpEx Beverages, a renowned global spirits importer, is known for its unparalleled ability to procure and introduce the finest rare and premium expressions to the United States. With a strong focus on Scotland's top-tier offerings, ImpEx meticulously selects and brings to market a range of specially chosen spirits, with the pinnacle of its offerings being The ImpEx Collection.

ImpEx Beverages, led by President and Keeper of the Quaich Sam Filmus, is now proud to present Edition Four of The ImpEx Collection, consisting of four single-cask, single-malt Scotches and two single-cask, single-malt global whiskies from the far-off, worldly corners of India and New Zealand.

We've been blessed to represent some fantastic, multi-award-winning brands as importers here in the US. Edition Four of The ImpEx Collection includes very special Single Cask selections, which we are incredibly proud to unveil.

"We've been very blessed to represent some fantastic and multi-award winning brands as an importer here in the US. Edition Four of The ImpEx Collection includes very special Single Cask selections from Pōkeno and Indri as part of its World Single Malt offerings," said Filmus. "The trust and care these brands have shown in the selection process and allowing us to bottle these under our label gives us an even greater sense of pride in their release. In fact, The ImpEx Collection 2020 3-yo Pōkeno Amontillado Cask #20-26 received a Gold Medal and 90 points from the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition along with 93 points from Whisky Advocate in their Fall 2024 issue."

The ImpEx Collection concept is to showcase some of the best "gems" in its Editions. These bottlings, spirits that might otherwise disappear into a blend or never be bottled at all, represent some of the rarer gems out there. They result from a meticulous cask selection process achieved by blind tasting samples and forming a tasting panel consensus-based only on flavor, quality, and unique characteristics, ensuring that each bottle is a true treasure.

"It's never a simple or easy process to select the expressions we release in our Editions of The ImpEx Collection," explained Filmus. "A single cask has to have the perfect recipe for us - the right appeal, the right size, the right price, and the right age are a part of it all, but the taste and quality above all else. We call our expressions gems for a reason: they are precious to us (and to the consumers we have in mind when we select them, we hope)."

For The ImpEx Collection Edition Four, the extraordinary single-cask Scotches selected are drawn from Scotland's prominent whisky-making regions, namely Speyside and Highland. The ImpEx Collection 2011 12 yo Royal Brackla ($120), bottled at 58% ABV, kicks things off, heralding from a Highlands distillery founded in 1812 and known as "The King's Own Whisky" for being the first Scotch whisky ever granted a Royal Warrant. Opening aromatics of apples and melted demerara sugar set the palate for apples, pears, and a luscious lemon zest that finishes with soft, brown sugar and cake spice.

From Dailuaine, a Speyside distillery famous for being the first in Scotland with a pagoda roof, comes The ImpEx Collection 2009 14 yo Dailuaine ($140). With a bottling strength of 56.8% ABV, this single malt draws you in with essences of coconut oil and apricot on the nose. The palate is then tempted with a dance of apricot and tangerine that gives way to a finish of lingering green apple.

Further into Edition Four is The ImpEx Collection 2009 14 yo Strathmill ($140), crafted in the Speyside region at a Victorian-era whisky-making operation. The flavor profile of this expression is decadent in consideration - red apple, cinnamon, and sugar plum on the nose, yielding as you take a sip to baseball card bubble gum, pear, and rose petals. The finish is lasting and rich in flavor.

The ImpEx Collection 2011 12 yo Benrinnes ($120) is also a treat, drawing first breath in a cask from a Speyside distillery known for rich, full-bodied expressions. This 12-year-old, sporting a 58.9% ABV, draws one in with cherries and rosemary on the nose, followed by the sip revealing the addition of candle wax and red fruit. The finish here is an emerging blood orange that brings a fresh citrus note.

On the global whisky stage, The ImpEx Collection Edition Four delivers two distilleries that are not as likely known but still very intriguing. First off, from India comes The ImpEx Collection 2015 7 yo Indri ($175 - 53.5% ABV). Indri has been making waves on the global stage with its award-winning expressions, and ImpEx found itself a gem of an ex-wine cask bottling that drops with sweet figs and plums on the nose, leading to a palate wanting for this whisky's fruit predominance and sweetness. It concludes with touches of vanilla and grapes.

New Zealand whisky is represented well by The ImpEx Collection 2020 3 yo Pōkeno ($125), clocking in at 58.5% ABV and finding its age in an Amontillado Sherry Cask. Pōkeno brings a water source protected by volcanic hills in a misty valley to this expression. With this whisky comes ripe peaches and honey on the nose, leading to marzipan and cashew nuts on the palate and a long, rich finish.

All of The ImpEx Collection Edition Four expressions will be available starting October 16th, 2024, when excited consumers can begin to look for these fantastic expressions on store shelves in specialty retailers across the US. For more information on these beautiful gems, including where to buy them, please email ImpEx Beverages at [email protected] for an individual and personalized response.
