Bourbon
It's the second release in Bimber's limited edition Four Elements Collection. Called Earth, it was distilled from malt made using Aberdeenshire peat which has a major impact on the flavour of the resulting whisky. It comes from a single bourbon cask, #478 to be precise, and was bottled at 58.5% ABV. This is a Master of Malt exclusive with only 275 bottles available.
A compote of orchard fruits is married together with wisps of in-land peat smoke. Golden syrup sits with gingerbread men whilst syrupy stone fruit joins asides of damp autumn leaves.
Sweet, tinned apricots are wrapped up in warming touches of wood smoke, whilst barley sugars and toasted oak is joined by ginger and cinnamon spice.
Linger fruity sweetness with touches of persistent, but delicate smoke.
Very nice tasting bottle. You're definitely getting value for money.
