Every bottle within the new assortment incorporates a totally different station on the London Underground, with Waterloo, Baker Avenue, Kings Cross St Pancras and Oxford Circus all represented.

The label designs are supposed to spotlight the importance of every station’s location.

The 4 releases have been chosen from ex-Bourbon casks at full cask energy and are non-chill filtered, produced from the distillery’s single farm barley. After being fermented for every week in American oak washbacks, distillation came about in Bimber’s customised copper stills, which resulted in a ‘wealthy fruit-forward, layered spirit’.

About 260 bottles of every expression have been made, with all the bottlings sitting between 58.1%-58.8% ABV.

Bimber spokesperson, Matt McKay, stated: “We’re delighted to unveil this thrilling new partnership and the primary expressions of The Spirit of the Underground Assortment. This collaboration with Transport for London celebrates each one of many nice engineering tasks of the previous 200 years and the continuing improvement of our spirit. We’re thrilled to showcase our single malt whisky on this most unbelievable manner.”

Bimber plans to launch extra TfL-themed bottlings sooner or later, choosing from the 270 stations on the community. New expressions will probably be added in 4 single-cask batches at a time, ultimately populating every of the Underground’s 11 strains.

Julie Dixon, head of buyer data design and partnerships at TfL, stated: “This collaboration actually exhibits off the visible splendour of our historic Underground community. It’s been nice to work with a London-based distillery to create this assortment and we hope followers of whisky will get pleasure from this assortment because it grows.”

The primary launch of The Spirit of the Underground Assortment will probably be accessible later this month with an RRP of £125 (US$177) per 700ml bottle.

Earlier this yr, the staff behind Bimber submitted a planning application to open a Scotch distillery.
