Water is used throughout the whisky making process, from steeping and mashing through to cooling and dilution. Over generations, many a tall tale has been told about whisky tasting like babbling brooks, spiritual waterfalls and liquid trickled down over the eons through mountain granite. However our water simply comes from the Thames – it possesses both high mineral content and microbiological purity.
Our water has a crucial impact on the properties of our long, high ester fermentations - and therefore also on the personality of our London single malt whisky.
This single cask has been reduced in strength to demonstrate the ability of dilution to unlock additional aromas and flavours and to present this single malt whisky with a new, hand-tailored balance.
Tasting Notes
Nose : A balanced combination of pineapple chunks, mangoes and vibrant lemon sit alongside toasted cereals, vanilla buttercream and ginger.
Palate : Juicy pineapple, apple and pear join vanilla pods, smooth custard and toasted oak, whilst cinnamon and ginger are dusted on top.
Finish : Prolonged sweet fruitiness together with sympathetic cinnamon spice.
About Bimber
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 their single farm, where 100% of their barley is grown. It is then traditionally floor malted, hand-mashed and fermented slowly for seven days in their wooden washbacks that were hand-made at their own cooperage. Bimber uses direct fire to heat the small copper pot stills, and matures the spirit in hand-selected casks. The whisky is also bottled on site.
Their hand-crafted approach to whisky production passionately combines traditional methods, expertise and commitment to quality.
Bimber’s first casks were laid down on the 26th May 2016 and they released their 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 their trademark accessible, fruit forward character.
