Bimber unveil
the second instalment of their The
Spirit Of The Underground whisky series,
the next four stops for the London based
distillery is Victoria, London Bridge,
Paddington and Chancery Lane.
London’s Bimber Distillery today
announced the upcoming launch of the
second release of ‘The Spirit of the
Underground’ Collection, produced in
conjunction with Transport for London.
The Collection, which will feature a
total of 44 individual releases over a
three-year period, features a selection
of iconic single malt whiskies that
celebrate the heritage and diversity of
the distillery’s home city. With
striking individual designs, each bottle
presents a different Tube station on the
London Underground network - the oldest
underground passenger railway service in
the world.
Following the rapid sale of the
inaugural Collection releases, Release
No.2 showcases four new stations:
Chancery Lane, London Bridge, Paddington
and Victoria – each again featuring
stunning iconography that presents
unique pieces of London’s history, and
adorned with striking labels and
packaging design that observes the
significance of each station’s location.
Drawn from some of the distillery’s
oldest stock laid down in 2016, the four
new expressions include Madeira, Port,
PX Sherry and ex-Rye Casks, bottled at
full cask strength and without chill
filtration. Each displays its own highly
individual character – demonstrating
both the growing diversity of single
malt styles produced by Bimber, as well
as the extraordinary versatility of the
London-produced spirit.
Release No.2 of The Spirit of the
Underground Collection will be available
directly from Bimber’s Spirit of the
Underground website in November via
weighted ballot, and with an RRP of £125
per bottle.
Speaking of the launch of The Spirit of
the Underground Release No.2, Bimber
spokesperson Matt McKay said: "Following
a terrific reception earlier this year
to the first four releases from The
Spirit of the Underground, we’re
thrilled to unveil the next stations
that will be joining the Collection. For
this second collaborative release with
Transport for London we have selected
four distinctive and exceptional casks
from amongst our very finest. Each
typifies our hand-crafted approach to
whisky making, whilst at the same time
offering an ever-broadening selection of
flavour experiences with which to
celebrate the history and diversity of
our home – London."
All the expressions in The Spirit of the
Underground Collection 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 rich
fruit-forward, layered spirit.
You will also find the
current Bimber whisky range available from
specialist online whisky retailers such
as
The Whisky Exchange and
Master of
Malt
