Bimber is set
to release the biggest batch yet of is
increasingly popular First Fill
Ex-Bourbon small batch release.
London’s Bimber
Distillery today announced the worldwide
release of Bimber Ex-bourbon Oak Casks Batch 4
– a release of 7,000 bottles making it
the distillery’s largest and oldest
small batch single malt to date.
The upcoming single malt whisky has been
crafted from a vatting of the
distillery’s oldest 1st fill American
Oak ex-bourbon casks laid down in 2017 –
Bimber’s second year of production.
Batch 4 is bottled at 51.2% ABV and
consists of 7,000 bottles. It will be
available at an RRP of £68 directly from
the distillery from Thursday 20th April
2023 and also in a wide number of
overseas markets (see notes to editors
for full availability details)
The expression has been crafted to
Bimber’s rigorous 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 alembic pot
stills which possess an increased copper
surface area, and produce a
fruit-forward, textural and layered new
make spirit.
Following maturation, each cask was
disgorged into the distillery’s in-house
constructed American oak marrying vat
for a period of resting. During this
resting cycle the complexities of each
individual cask mingle, creating an
ensemble which possesses balance and
depth whilst retaining the character of
Bimber’s distinctive spirit.
Speaking of the new Small Batch release,
Bimber spokesperson Matt McKay said:
"Whilst the number of Bimber enthusiasts
continues to grow, as a small craft
distillery we have struggled to keep up
with the exponential demand for our
products. As our largest ever release,
we hope that Ex-bourbon Oak Casks Batch
4 will quench some of the continued
global demand that we’re seeing for our
London single malt whiskies."
He added: "Similarly to our other Small
Batch releases Ex-Bourbon Oak Casks
Batch 4 continues to offer an insight
into our maturing single malt whisky
stock – as we look toward the 7th
anniversary of our spirit, this new
release is not only a perfect entry
point into Bimber, it’s also a milestone
for the developing style and quality of
single malt whiskies that you’ll be
seeing from us going forward."
You will also find the
current Bimber whisky range available from
specialist online whisky retailers such
