Bimber Re-Charred Oak Casks - Small Batch no. 01 - b. 2019 - 70cl

Both bottle and tube are in excellent condition. Numbered bottle: 0445 of 5,000.

Bimber Distillery in London 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 selection of American Oak casks were hand charred by Bimber’s on-site coopers to level #4 char – also known as ‘Alligator char’. The deep charring process caramelised the wood sugars, adds a layer of filtering carbon to the surface of the barrel and influences the whisky by imparting distinctively sweet, rich smooth and fruity flavours into the maturing spirit.

This batch was released in 2019 at cask strength with an ABV of 51.9%

TASTING NOTES:
Nose: Orchard fruits and spit-roasted pineapple chunks are sweetened with honey, nougat and cookie dough. Oak smoke and wood char float across the nose, whilst cinnamon and pepper spicing offers an enlivening intensity.
Palate: Red apples and ripe pears sit alongside banana bread and pineapple juice. Caramel, butterscotch sauce and split vanilla pods combine with layered pepper and ginger spicing and a characterful note of charred oak.
Finish: Enduring wood smoke supports beautifully fading fruits and perfectly balanced oaky dryness.
