The distillery’s releases, like the Spirit of the Underground series, emphasize a strong design aesthetic: Co-founder Ewelina Chruszczyk creates the eye-catching Bimber labels and tubes in-house, giving the husband and wife team greater agility than with a design agency to manage their need for distinctive packaging, as Bimber releases each single cask as a separate limited release. There are fruit and ‘spice-forward’ flavours, such as ginger and pepper – which the team credits to those Bimber whisky casks – and you should also detect a range of other flavours from smoky charred oak to some fresh, tingly herbs.

Spicy oak notes of ginger and vanilla are also prominent and both the smoke and spice build to a long, lingering finish.
