London’s Bimber Distillery today unveiled the third instalment of their 'The Spirit of the Underground Collection' which they have produced in conjunction with Transport for London.
Bimber Spirit Of The Underground Collection Release No.3 showcases four new stations taking the total number of stations released to date to 12, the four new stations featured in this batch of releases are: Camden Town, Canary Wharf, Notting Hill Gate and Tower Hill – each featuring stunning iconography presenting unique pieces of London’s history, and adorned with striking labels and packaging design that observes the significance of each station’s location.
Each of the four releases in Release No.3 has undergone a secondary maturation in a different fortified wine cask – with three of the stations showcasing cask types that have not previously been released by the distillery. Each is bottled at natural cask strength and without chill filtration.
The complete Bimber Spirit Of The Underground Collection will in time include a total 44 individual releases, features a selection of iconic single malt whiskies that celebrate the heritage and diversity of the distillery’s home city. With stunning individual designs, each bottle presents a different Tube station on the London Underground network - the oldest underground passenger railway service in the world.
Release No.3 of The Spirit of the Underground Collection will be available directly from Bimber’s Spirit of the Underground website from Monday 16th till Thursday 19th May via a weighted ballot, and with an RRP of £125 per bottle.
Speaking of the launch of the third release in the collection, Matt McKay Bimber’s Director of Marketing and Communications said: "We’re delighted to reveal the next four stations that will be joining The Spirit of the Underground Collection. For this release we’ve selected four outstanding casks which showcase our ever-broadening selection of flavour profiles. Each of these fortified wine casks has brought both a unique influence and a different perspective to our distinctive London spirit. And we’re particularly excited to be using Release 3 to unveil three entirely new casks styles that we have added into our growing cask inventory".
Ellen Sankey, Brand Licensing Manager at Transport for London added: "We are delighted to see Bimber Distillery further capture our unique brand with this latest release, which nods to both Transport for London's and the capital’s rich heritage. Innovative collaborations such as this are a great example of how brands can work with us and let their customers have a little bit of London in their home.”
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 Malting's 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.
