The Bimber EX-BOURBON Oak Casks Single Malt London Whisky Batch No. 4 51.2% is a limited-edition small-batch release from London, combining the Bimber Distillery’s fruit-forward house style with the classic influence of American bourbon casks. For Batch No. 4, selected first-fill ex-bourbon casks made from American oak were blended and bottled in March 2023 at a robust 51.2% ABV. The whisky deliberately bears no age statement. Typical of Bimber is its artisanal production: the barley is processed traditionally and the mash is fermented for an exceptionally long time – around seven days – in open washbacks made of lightly toasted American white oak. This long fermentation enhances the characteristic fruity and multi-layered style of the London distillery.

The Bimber Ex-Bourbon Oak Casks Batch 4 is limited to just 7,000 bottles and is bottled without chill filtration or colouring. The bourbon cask maturation complements the natural fruity character with notes of vanilla, toast, spices and oak, whilst green apple and dried fruit lend freshness and depth. It is precisely the combination of London single malt whisky, first-fill bourbon casks and high ABV that makes this bottling particularly appealing to connoisseurs of modern English whiskies. The 0.7-litre bottle, presented in a gift box, combines artisanal production, limited availability and a concentrated cask character to create a distinctive edition within the Bimber Small Batch series.
