| Bimber launches its 2021 Country Collection |
The spirit used to make Bimber’s 2021 Country Collection, was produced from the distillery’s single farm barley and malted on a dedicated floor at Warminster Maltings before being fermented for seven days in bespoke, on-site constructed American oak washbacks.
Distillation took place in Bimber’s customised stills, which
possess an increased copper surface area, and is said to result in a light and fruity layered new make spirit.
