ImpEx Beverages, the US importer for Kilchoman, Ardnamurchan, and other brands, is lowering its wholesale prices for 12 of the brands it imports by up to 13 percent. Too soon to say whether distributors and retailers will pass the savings on to consumers. From the ImpEx announcement: When asked about the motivation behind the reduction, Sam Filmus, Keeper of the Quaich and President of ImpEx Beverages, said, “We have watched the impact 2024 has had on this industry globally. Seeing how economic challenges and political uncertainty have created changes in the spending and buying habits of the US consumer we knew we had to do something to reward the loyal supporters of our brands and show them how much we value their trust in the expressions we bring to them on the shelf. We know that it is an honor to provide such beautiful and unique world spirits offerings, and we wanted to show that gratitude to the very people who make it possible for us to continue on this journey. At a time when it feels like price increases are so common, we wanted to do something different. We dug deep and found a way to sharpen our pencils for what we hope will be a meaningful impact. It was just the right thing to do.”
