The Bimber 2018 Ex-Pedro Ximenez Antipodes is a single malt London whisky distilled in 2018 by the Bimber Distillery. Established in 2015 by Dariusz Plazewski, the distillery is well-equipped with a 1000-liter wash-still and a 600-liter spirit-still, both of which were crafted in Spain and are directly heated by flame. This unique whisky began its aging journey in a single bourbon cask and was then matured for an additional nine months in a cask that previously held Pedro Ximenez sherry. With a robust ABV of 57.8% and a total production of just 321 numbered bottles, this expression is as exclusive as it is distinctive. The whisky is bottled without any color additives, resulting in a natural hue that faithfully reflects its intricate aging process and storied journey.

The Bimber 2018 Ex-Pedro Ximenez Antipodes is an interesting expression from Bimber, though not my favorite. It has a wonderfully complex nose and a full-bodied, creamy palate, but the wood notes can be a bit overpowering, leading to a slightly unbalanced experience. The finish is somewhat short, but the whisky does take water well, which can help to mellow some of the more dominant wood notes. Overall, it’s a unique and enjoyable dram, albeit with a few imperfections.
