Bimber Ex-Bourbon Oak Casks (2020)
Bimber Ex-Bourbon Oak Casks – Small Batch
English Single Malt Whiskey (London)
70 cl · 52.2% vol.
This Bimber Ex-Bourbon Oak Casks is a pure, unadulterated expression of what makes London's Bimber Distillery so strong: craftsmanship, precision, and respect for the raw material and the cask. This small batch was matured entirely in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at cask strength , without chill filtration.
Bimber uses long fermentations, traditional pot stills, and a distinctly malty distillate. This is clearly evident here: a full grain kernel, a creamy texture, and a natural balance of sweetness, wood, and alcohol. Despite its high alcohol content, this whisky remains remarkably controlled and elegant.
This isn't a whisky that hides its character behind finishes or gimmicks — it's all about distillate and cask quality .
