Founded in London, Bimber Distillery has quickly established a reputation for producing high-quality spirits that pay homage to traditional distilling methods while embracing a modern approach. Their philosophy focuses on controlling every aspect of the production process - from carefully selecting the barley and maintaining a hands-on approach during the malting and distillation, to the critical choices made during the ageing process. This meticulous attention to detail is evident in every bottle that comes out of their distillery.
The Italy Edition - Beija-Flor is especially noteworthy due to its maturation in a virgin oak cask. Cask #139 has been chosen specifically for this bespoke creation, ensuring that every nuance of the wood influences the spirit. Virgin oak casks are known for their ability to impart intense flavors quickly and this cask is no exception. The interaction between the whisky and the new oak introduces a complex array of flavors, from deep, rich toasty notes to vibrant vanilla and spice undertones.
This edition is bottled at a cask strength of 58.2%, a choice that retains the robust and dynamic character of the whisky. At this strength, the intricate layers of flavors crafted during distillation and maturation are boldly emphasized, allowing connoisseurs to experience the spirit in its most pure and intense form. Whether enjoyed neat, with a splash of water, or as a base for sophisticated cocktails, this edition promises a remarkable and memorable tasting experience.
The bottle size is the standard 70 cl, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts alike to appreciate. Moreover, the rarity of this edition is highlighted by the limited number of bottles available; only 75 bottles of this exquisite whisky have been released, making it a coveted item for collectors and aficionados of unique and rare spirits.
In keeping with the theme of bespoke and specially tailored releases, the name "Beija-Flor," which means "hummingbird" in Portuguese, reflects the uniqueness and beauty of this edition. The hummingbird, known for its precision and vibrancy, perfectly symbolizes the nature of this whisky - vibrant, energetic, and meticulously crafted.
