The ImpEx Collection is a labor of love derived from the heart of Sam Filmus, President and Managing Director of ImpEx Beverages.
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.
Whether you find yourself looking for a dram of rare and unique Whisky 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.
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.
Enjoy!
