Bimber 'The 1st Peated' has been created by combining peated single malt London whisky distilled May 2019 and matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks. Four casks have been used to create this special release, with 1,140 bottles being filled at 54.1%. This is now worth a lot of money to collectors in the UK.
In classic Australian style, this whisky has absolutely rippled flavour out of its cask. However, while I was expecting spiky youth in the spirit and the abv, it drinks with a maturity and ease that belies these facts. I have since bought two bottles. Absolutely delicious and as good, if not better, than it’s Scotch peers
