Bimber Ex-Bourbon Cask #191 English Single Malt Whisky – Australia Edition

A single cask expression from London’s Bimber, this is ex-bourbon cask #191.

Cask #191 was chosen by Wonderland Drinks and bottled exclusively for Australia. The barrel yielded 252 bottles at 59.1%.

London-located Bimber began production in 2016 with the first release in September 2019. The distillery places a strong emphasis on their single farm-grown barley, which is floor malted at Warminster Maltings. A slow fermentation takes seven days and though the stills were designed to maximise copper contact and create a light whisky, the fact they are direct-fired means their new make holds its structure. This, with early spirit cuts, produce a light, fruity and aromatic new make.
