BIMBER - Apogée XII - 12 ans - Ex Bourbon Cask - Bottled 2021 - 46,30%
Bimber Distillery is located in London, England. It was founded by whisky enthusiasts (Ewelina Chruszczyk and Dairusz Plazewski), with a mission to produce a high-quality Single Malt with character, using traditional methods rarely seen today. All the barley is grown on one farm. It is then traditionally floor malted, crushed by hand and slowly fermented for seven days in wooden washbacks that were hand-made at their own cooperage. They use direct fire to heat the small copper stills, and the spirits matured in hand-selected barrels. Finally, the whisky is blended and bottled on site at the distillery. Bimber's first barrels were filled on May 26, 2016 and were released three years later, in September 2019 - the limited release of 1,000 hand-numbered bottles sold out in 3 hours. Since 2020, Bimber has launched a wider range of new Single Malt whiskies.
Apogee XII is a selection of the best Single Malts from the Highlands and Speyside, first aged for 12 years then blended together and refined in barrels from the Bimber distillery.
