Nach der Veröffentlichung des Oloroso Cask Batch #2 im September (wir berichteten), gibt es ab heute im Webshop der Bimber Distillery zwei neue Abfüllungen zu kaufen (zum Zeitpunkt, da wir diesen Artikel schreiben, sind beide aber noch unter “coming soon” gelistet – bei Interesse einfach mal hin und wieder hier nachsehen).
Hier einmal die Infos der Destillerie zu den beiden Abfüllungen:
Bimber Ex-Bourbon Oak Casks Small Batch 002
A vatting of American Oak ex-bourbon casks
Nose: Bright and elegant fruits – ripe apples together with apricots and peach melba. Split vanilla pod and sponge fingers are joined by coconut shavings and freshly toasted bread
Taste: Fruit-forward and with a delightfully syrupy body. Apricot halves and fresh peaches are perfectly balanced against vanilla-imbued crème patisserie and elegant peppery spiciness.
Finish: Lingering stone fruit sweetness and enduring spice

Bimber Oloroso Oak Casks Small Batch 003
Matured in 1st fill ex-bourbon barrels, then finished in casks which previously held Spanish Oloroso sherry.
Nose: Cinnamon rolls, freshly baked waffles and sweet buns sit with fresh and dried red berries whilst stem ginger is tempered by vanilla cream and lemon posset
Taste: Elegantly textured and with plentiful rich sherried notes – bright red berries, chopped bananas and chocolate-dipped walnuts. Golden syrup and pineapple chunks join cinnamon dusting and scorched orange peels
Finish: Sustained refined spicing alongside receding sweet sherry
