Bimber
Distillery adds two new releases to its
Small Batch collection- Bimber
Ex-Bourbon Oak Casks and Bimber Oloroso
Oak Casks.
Bimber Distillery has announced the
upcoming release of two new batches from
its popular range of Small Batch single
malt whiskies. The Ex-bourbon Oak Casks
Small Batch single malt has been crafted
from a vatting of carefully selected
American Oak ex-bourbon casks laid down
in 2016 – Bimber’s first year of
production. Batch 002 is bottled at
52.2% ABV, limited to 2950 bottles and
will be available at an RRP of £65.
Oloroso Cask Small Batch has been
produced from a vatting of 1st fill
ex-bourbon casks that have been finished
in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. Batch
003 is bottled at 51.4% ABV, limited to
980 and will be available at an RRP of
£75.
Whilst the cask composition of both new
bottlings remains the same as previous
batches, the taste profile of each
instalment changes as the distillery’s
stock continues to mature. As such, each
subsequent Small Batch release offers a
deeper understanding into the continued
progression and versatility of Bimber’s
characterful spirit.
Speaking of the new Small Batch
releases, Bimber spokesperson Matt McKay
said: "We’re thrilled to close out what
has been a tremendous year for Bimber
with the release of two new bottlings
from our popular Small Batch range. The
newest editions of our Ex-bourbon Oak
Casks and Oloroso Cask Small Batch
expressions offer existing Bimber
drinkers a continued insight into the
development of our maturing stock. But
at the same time, they also provide
those newer to Bimber with a perfect
entry point to our range."
He added: "Despite the tests and trials
of the last nine months we’ve seen the
demand for our products grow
exponentially. There’s a real thirst for
Bimber and the team is working hard to
quench the continued global demand for
our single malt whiskies."
Both of the new Small Batch expressions
were crafted to Bimber’s exacting
standards. The spirit was produced from
the distillery’s single farm barley and
malted on a dedicated floor at
Warminster Maltings before being
fermented for seven days in bespoke,
on-site constructed American oak
washbacks. Distillation took place in
Bimber’s customised stills which possess
an increased copper surface area, which
results in a light, fruit-forward,
layered new make spirit.
You will find available Bimber whisky
available from specialist online whisky
retailers such as
