Bimber Distillery, founded in London, England, has made a significant mark on the whisky world with its artisanal approach to distillation and its persistence in using traditional methods. This distillery is recognized for its meticulous production process, starting from the careful selection of grains to the art of barrel aging, which ensures each bottle has a story to tell. As a relatively new player in the field, having first opened its doors in 2015, Bimber has managed to craft spirits that rival those of the longstanding giants in the industry.

The Bimber Klub 52.8% Release #1 is notably matured in a Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry cask. Known for their deep, rich, sweet qualities, PX casks add an extra layer of complexity and flavor to the whisky. Pedro Ximénez, a white Spanish grape variety, is used to produce one of the most luscious and sweet sherries in the world. Aging whisky in these casks imparts notes of dried fruits, molasses, and a hint of chocolate, making the final product not just unique, but with a depth that is hard to surpass.

The spirit itself boasts an ABV of 52.8%, striking a perfect balance between strength and smoothness. This robust alcohol content amplifies the rich flavors absorbed from the cask, ensuring every sip delivers a powerful taste experience. The whisky's connection to its sherry-soaked wooden sanctuary deepens with time, drawing more intricate flavors and aromas that whisky enthusiasts cherish. With only 1,198 bottles available, this release is a sought-after collector's item that represents a piece of Bimber's history.

On the palate, those fortunate enough to experience the Bimber Klub Release #1 will detect the unmistakable influence of the Pedro Ximénez cask. Expect a harmonious blend of sweet sherry notes, such as raisins, figs, and dates, layered with a spiciness that tingles the tongue, likely a gentle nod to its robust proof. The finish is long, warm, and undoubtedly comforting; a perfect reflection of the care and patience invested in its aging.

In addition, it is important to highlight that this release, bottled in 2020, marks an important moment in Bimber's journey. As an official bottling, it assures quality and authenticity, serving not just as a drink, but as an embodiment of Bimber's dedication to flawless and innovative whisky-making.
