- Description
- Bimber's inaugural 2019 release was aged for three years in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, representing the London distillery's first bottling of just 1,000 bottles. The PX cask influence brings rich sweetness, dark fruit, and warming spice to the young spirit, rounding out its edges and adding complexity. Young sherry cask maturation can be aggressive, but here it's integrated into the distillery's fruity, ester-driven character. This is a significant bottle in English whisky history and suitable for collectors or those wanting to taste the beginning of a now-established distillery's journey.
