Bimber Ex-Bourbon Oak Casks Batch #2 (2016-2020) 70cl

The advantage of craft distilleries is that they can obsessively focus on details that bring increasing levels of elegance, taste and refinement to whiskies. For the new boy on the block, Bimber Distillery has won numerous awards and recognition, and their small batch limited releases sell out rapidly, sometimes within hours.

This is the second release of its small batch American white oak casks.

Bimber Ex-Bourbon Oak Casks Batch No. 2, a single malt, marries the fruit-forward, accessible spirit of Bimber with the sweet rich vanilla and spices of ex-bourbon casks.

It has flavours of apples, apricots, peaches, vanilla, caramel and spices and comes at a strength of 52.2% ABV.

It is natural colour and non-chill filtered and is one of only 2950 bottles.

This is an elegant and easy-to-drink whisky.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE: Green apple peels and dried stone fruits are joined by milksoaked breakfast cereals, whilst vanilla sponge cake and desiccated coconut sit with buttered toast.

PALATE: An impactful combination of bright orchard fruits, baked apricots and sprightly pepper spicing sit with gently charred oak and creamy vanilla.

FINISH: Lasting sweetness tempered by persistent spicing.
