Bimber The Four Elements Release No.4 Water English Single Malt Whisky 70cl

THE FOUR ELEMENTS - WATER RELEASE NO. 4

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.

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.
