Review by Bimber

Nose

Pronounced, fresh and expressive. Stewed apples are joined by ripe red berries, charred mandarin segments and plump raisins. Natural sweetness from soft toffee merges with crumbly shortbread and crushed walnuts, whilst nutmeg and clove spices provide a balanced intensity.

Palate

Full-bodied with a viscous mouthfeel. Flame-scorched orange peels and jammy berry fruits are enriched with sultanas and sponge cake. Creamy vanilla toffee is enlivened by ginger and pepper spicing, whilst dark chocolate and leather offer further delectable depths.

Finish

Lingering pepper and nutmeg spices are sweetened with demerara sugar and bolstered by a touch of charred oak.

Note

2019 has been a year of firsts for Bimber our first peated spirit run, our first casks reaching three years of maturity, and perhaps the most significant first of them all.the release of our first single malt whisky!

Were incredibly proud to announce and reveal our inaugural release Bimber The First which will be available from 13th September.

The First is composed of a selection of our finest Pedro Ximenez casks filled in 2016 (our first year of production), that have been carefully selected by our Founder and Master Distiller Darius Plazewski. Darius hand-picked these specific casks because of their exceptional characteristics theyre elegant and layered, but still totally reflective of Bimbers light, accessible and fruit-forward style. And remember, Bimber doesnt use industry standard seasoned wood all our sherry casks were used for several decades in Jerez soleras.

Only 1000 bottles of our historic London whisky have been produced. Each is bottled at 54.2% ABV and presented in an individually numbered, hand-crafted, oak box created by our on-site coopers.

The highly anticipated bottling will be available on the 13th September for 120 from The Whisky Exchange and directly from our distillery in West London to anyone booking a Whisky Connoisseur Experience (from the 14th September and only whilst stocks last - so you best get your skates on!).
