Bimber celebrates milestone with the launch of two age stated single malt whiskies.

Bimber Distillery today announced a landmark release in its admired collection of London single malt whiskies, with the upcoming launch of its first-ever age statement expressions. ‘Harmony of Eight’ and ‘Bimber 8 year old Single Cask Edition’ mark an exciting new chapter for Bimber, reflecting eight years of dedication to traditional whisky-making methods, artistry and an unwavering commitment to quality.

The Harmony of Eight will be available via the Bimber website on the 5th December and with an RRP of £130. The release of 1,090 bottles has been crafted through a fully artisanal process that includes single-farm barley, floor malting at Warminster Maltings, 7-day open-topped fermentation, and distillation in directly fired copper pot stills. Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, it offers a vibrant and fruit-forward profile that is reflective of 8 years of careful maturation.

Alongside and limited to just 268 bottles, the Bimber 8 Year Old – Single Cask Edition is a tribute to Bimber’s craft and its dedicated following. Similarly crafted using fully traditional methods, this single cask release has been fully matured in an American oak ex-bourbon cask and showcases the depth and maturity of Bimber’s London single malt after eight years of careful aging and was selected by the 2024 Bimber Klub Tasting Panel. It will be available exclusively for Bimber members and will also be launched on the 4th December at a price of £160.

These two releases mark a significant milestone for the distillery, symbolising the culmination of years of meticulous craftsmanship, patience, and dedication to traditional whisky-making methods. They reflect both time and commitment and they showcase not only the depth of character that has developed over eight years but also the distillery’s continued evolution. These age-statement whiskies are a celebration of Bimber’s journey and a testament to the artistry and care poured into every cask, solidifying its reputation as a leading light in craft whisky production.

 Speaking of the launch of Harmony of Eight and Bimber 8 year old Single Cask Edition, Bimber Director Ewelina Chruszczyk said:

“We are immensely proud to introduce our first age statement whiskies - a reflection of eight years of passion, precision, and unwavering dedication to our craft. These releases are more than just a measure of time; they embody the journey we’ve taken, the challenges we’ve overcome, and the bright future that lies ahead for Bimber.”
