Bimber Italy Edition Single Bourbon Cask #66 Italy Exclusive English Single Malt Whisky (2020) 70cl

1 of 214 bottles produced from a single bourbon cask for Italy exclusively as part of the Country Collection

Bimber Italy Edition Bourbon Cask 66 Whisky 70cl is an exclusive and extremely limited edition London single malt, bottled specifically for the Italian market. This spirit, handcrafted at the Bimber distillery, is made from barley grown on a single farm and traditionally floor malted. Distilled in October 2016, it spent its entire maturation in a first-fill ex-bourbon American oak cask (cask no. 66), before being bottled in February 2020 in just 274 bottles at full strength and 58.1% ABV.

TASTING NOTES

On the nose, it is vibrant and fruity, with notes of green apple, citrus, pineapple, and pastry-like hints of sponge cake and vanilla. On the palate, it is creamy and spicy, with a perfect balance between the sweetness of caramel, honey, and tropical fruit, and bolder notes of black pepper, cinnamon, and toasted oak. The finish is long, warm, and pleasantly persistent, with an aftertaste of sweet spices and ripe fruit.

About Bimber

The founders of London's Bimber distillery, Dariusz and Ewelina, moved from Poland to the UK in 2003, opening their distillery in the Park Royal area of west London twelve years later. Plazewski inherited his passion for whisky from his grandfather, who also distilled his own spirits. The company’s first casks were laid down on the 26th May 2016, and three years later they released their first single malt in September 2019. This became the first whisky to be distilled and bottled in London for over a century. The distillery carries a “farm-to-bottle” approach by sourcing 100% of its barley from a single producer and using traditional floor maltings and slow fermentation techniques. Distillation takes place via a 1,000-litre wash still and a 600-litre spirit still that were both crafted by Hoga of Spain.
