LIMITED RELEASE OF 5000 BOTTLES
A vatting of carefully selected EX-BOURBON OAK CASKS.
Bourbon barrels are constructed from Quercus Alba, or white oak, commony known as American oak. This wood type complements the underlying character of our accessible fruit-forward spirit, imparting sweet, rich vanilla and caramel flavors alongside perfectly balanced spice. Every cask has been specially selected and married together in our hand-made oak vat, before being bottled.
The journey begins at our single farm, where 100% of our barley is grown. It is then traditionally floor malted, hand-mashed and fermented slowly for seven days in our wooden washbacks that were hand-made at our own cooperage. We use direct fire to heat our small copper pot stills, and mature our spirit in hand-selected casks. Finally, we bottle our whisky onsite at our distillery.

DISTILLERY STORY
OUR MISSION IS TO PRODUCE A WORLD-CLASS SINGLE MALT WHISKY, HANDCRAFTED WITH PASSION IN LONDON.
Bimber Distillery was founded by whisky lovers, with a mission to produce high-quality single malt whisky with character, using traditional methods that are rarely seen today.
The journey begins at our single farm, where 100% of our barley is grown. It is then traditionally floor malted, hand-mashed and fermented slowly for seven days in our wooden washbacks that were hand-made at our own cooperage. We use direct fire to heat our small copper pot stills, and mature our spirit in hand-selected casks. Finally, our whisky is bottled onsite at our distillery.
Our hand-crafted approach to whisky production passionately combines traditional methods, expertise and an absolute commitment to quality.
Bimber’s first casks were laid down on the 26th May 2016 and we released our inaugural single malt whisky (The First) three years later in September of 2019 – the limited release of 1,000 hand numbered bottles sold out in 3 hours. Bimber will be releasing a wide range of new single malt whiskies – all with our trademark accessible, fruit forward character – all handcrafted with passion.
