Bimber Ex-Bourbon Oak Casks Batch #1 (2020) 70cl

Bimber's latest small batch release is an artful marriage of American oak ex-bourbon casks. This wood type complements the underlying character of the accessible fruit-forward spirit, imparting sweet, rich vanilla and caramel flavours alongside perfectly balanced spice.

Tasting Notes

Nose : Green apple peels and dried stone fruits are joined by milk-soaked breakfast cereals, whilst vanilla sponge cake and desiccated coconut sit with buttered toast

Palate : An impactful combination of bright orchard fruits, baked apricots and sprightly pepper spicing sit with gently charred oak and creamy vanilla

Finish : Lasting sweetness tempered by persistent spicing

About Bimber

Bimber Distillery was founded by whisky lovers, with a mission to produce high-quality single malt whisky with character, using traditional methods that are rarely seen today.

The journey begins at their single farm, where 100% of their barley is grown. It is then traditionally floor malted, hand-mashed and fermented slowly for seven days in their wooden washbacks that were hand-made at their own cooperage. Bimber uses direct fire to heat the small copper pot stills, and matures the spirit in hand-selected casks. The whisky is also bottled on site.

Their hand-crafted approach to whisky production passionately combines traditional methods, expertise and commitment to quality.

Bimber’s first casks were laid down on the 26th May 2016 and they released their inaugural single malt whisky (The First) three years later in September of 2019 – the limited release of 1,000 hand numbered bottles sold out in 3 hours. Bimber will be releasing a wide range of new single malt whiskies – all with their trademark accessible, fruit forward character.
