The journey of Bimber's 2019 The 1st Peated Ex-American Oak Bourbon begins at the Bimber distillery's single farm in Basingstoke, where 100% of their barley is grown. The two-row Concerto barley is then transported to London, steeped three times over 40 hours, and meticulously turned every 8 hours over the following 5 days before being dried using a combination of dry and custom-made kiln methods. The pungently smoked grains are then mashed and fermented for seven days in the distillery's iconic in-house crafted washbacks. This crafted spirit is unhurriedly distilled using two directly-fired alembic pot stills. The marriage of four carefully selected heavily peated ex-bourbon casks (#463, #464, #470, and #471) creates the perfect harmony of Bimber's fruity and textural single malt whisky style with the intense, smoldering Highland peat smoke. Handcrafted in May 2019 and bottled in 2022, this expression is limited to only 1,140 bottles, each boasting an ABV of 54.1% and an 'in-bottle' PPM of 14.4, highlighting the peated character. Released at the end of November 2022, Bimber's first peated distillery release is a testament to artisanal craftsmanship and dedication to quality.
