Bimber’s 2021 Country Collection
continues the worldwide expansion of
the London-based distillery and
recognises the flourishing demand
for the craft producer’s single malt
whiskies. Fourteen expressions will
be released over the summer with the
remaining ten releases following
later in the year.
Each of the Country Collection
Editions 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,
resulting in a light and fruity, but
layered new make spirit.
Speaking of the upcoming release of
the 2021 Collection, Bimber
Distillery spokesperson Matt McKay
said: “Each expression within our
2021 Country Collection celebrates
the individuality of our growing
selection of cask styles. Our
exploration of the flavour
possibilities of cask
experimentation reflects how our
traditional processes can be
employed to produce impactful and
delightfully flavourful results from
a wide variety of wood types. As the
distillery grows, we are excited to
be able to share these exceptional
single cask releases with an
ever-widening number of worldwide
Bimber drinkers."
