Why You Should Buy Spirits From Independent Bottlers

Industry veteran Sam Filmus, creator of the ImpEx Collection, tells SL why buying from independent bottlers is a must…

The evolution of the independent bottler movement has sparked the conversation about why luxury consumers should start adding these bottles to their whisky collection. Filmus has his Whisky Certification from the University of the Highlands and Islands Moray College and is a designated Keeper of the Quaich, an exclusive and international society of individuals recognized for their commitment to the Scotch whisky industry.

When asked about the recent change in the independent bottling movement, Filmus says, “I think people are much more receptive to trying independent bottlings now than they were in the past. People have started to see this as an art form and are more willing to try something Independently Bottled than they were in the past.”

The conversation also covers where this industry is going in the future and brushes up on the basics on whisky production. For the full article, visit our online issue: https://issuu.com/sophisticatedliving/docs/slsl_j-f_2022
