Bimebr
distillery releases a trio of Re-charred
Oak Cask, single cask, single malt
whiskies.
London’s Bimber Distillery has announced
the upcoming release of a trio of single
cask single malt whiskies drawn from the
distillery’s remaining stock of
re-charred oak casks.
Three casks from Bimber’s small
inventory of hand-charred casks were
reserved during the creation of the
distillery’s popular maiden Small Batch
release in October 2019. Following an
additional year of maturation, these
casks are now being made available as
cask strength, single cask expressions.
The three Bimber Re-charred Oak Cask –
Single Cask releases are:
- Bimber Re-charred Oak Cask
No. 68
58.1% ABV. 295 Bottles
RRP £85
- Bimber Re-charred Oak Cask
No. 143
58.4% ABV. 299 Bottles
RRP £85
- Bimber Re-charred Oak Cask
No. 144
57.9% ABV. 303 Bottles
RRP £85
The three new releases will be available
to purchase directly from Bimber’s
website from Thursday 10th December.
They are limited to one bottle per
person and priced at £85.
The casks were hand charred by Bimber’s
on-site coopers to level #4 char – also
known as ‘alligator char’. This deep
charring process caramelises the wood
sugars, promotes greater interaction
between the spirit and the oak and adds
a layer of filtering carbon to the
internal surfaces of the barrel.
The influence of this intense char has
imparted incredible richness and
distinctively sweet notes into these
single malt whiskies. All of which
perfectly marry with Bimber’s
fruit-forward, spice-led house style.
Speaking of the upcoming release, Bimber
spokesperson Matt McKay said: "We’re
delighted to end what has been a
tremendous year for Bimber with these
very special single cask whiskies. The
Small Batch edition of our Re-charred
Oak Casks released last Autumn was a
first taste of our single malt for many
whisky lovers. Over the months since,
we’ve received many requests to produce
more of this popular expression – and so
we’re now truly excited to unveil these
three single cask editions."
He added: "It has been a challenging
year for everyone involved in the
industry and so we’re eternally grateful
for all the support that the whisky
community has shown us. We’re very eager
to see how the growing cohort of Bimber
fans react to these final releases of
2020."
You will also find Bimber single malt
whisky as well as its gin, vodka and rum
offerings available from specialist
online whisky retailers such as
The Whisky Exchange and
Master of Malt
