London’s award winning Bimber Distillery has announced the upcoming release of three single cask single malt whiskies drawn from the distillery’s remaining stock of re-charred oak casks.
Three exceptional casks from Bimber’s small inventory of hand-charred casks were reserved during the creation of the distillery’s popular maiden Small Batch release in October 2019. Following an additional year of maturation, these casks are now being made available as cask strength, single cask expressions.
The casks were hand charred by Bimber’s on-site coopers to level #4 char – also known as ‘alligator char’. This deep charring process caramelises the wood sugars, promotes greater interaction between the spirit and the oak and adds a layer of filtering carbon to the internal surfaces of the barrel.
The influence of this intense char has imparted incredible richness and distinctively sweet notes into these single malt whiskies, all of which perfectly marry with Bimber’s fruit-forward, spice-led house style.
The re-charred oak casks #68, #143 and #144 will be available for purchase directly from Bimber’s website from 10th December. The purchase is limited to one bottle per person and a bottle of these whiskies is priced at £85.
Cask #68 is endowed with 58.1 percent ABV, whereas Cask #143 is bottled at 58.4 percent ABV and Cask #144 is bottled at 57.9 percent ABV.
