A proper second album from Bimber Distillery that's not all about the cask.

Nose

86 86

An initial sweet, tinned pineapple note with vanilla custard, candy hearts and a whisper of mocha tart and cinnamon. It has a buttery quality to it, but also nice notes of red apples and pear skin.

Taste

86 86

The palate's signature is much more oak-y than the nose suggests, which does a good job at 'hiding' the high char level, although it never completely goes over the edge. Love the oiliness of the spirit. The pineapple makes an encore and is accompanied by fudge, caramel and even a hint of lime juice, but there's also lots of cloves and a touch of pepper and ginger, skewing the balance somewhat.

Finish

86 86

Lingering spices with a hint of thyme and mint, somewhat cough syrup-y. Pretty dry.

Good quality dram for 3 years of age. However, price is definitely too high for what it is. Value (£65) : 4/10

Nose

The fruity spirit definitely shines here. Some stone fruits, ripe mangoes and loads of melons. Then the charred oak leaves notes of dark chocolate, mocha and cinnamon. Vanilla custard with caramel on top. A touch of orange and very floral. Quite perfumed then a touch of white pepper warmth.

Taste

Creamy mouthfeel. Honeyed. The charred oak influence is dominant here with some burnt sugar, oak tannins and drying ginger spice. More mango and melon notes. Some bitter orange peels. Cinnamon and more white pepper. Almond extract and milk chocolate.

Finish

More mocha notes here. Quite a lot of drying tannins from the oak. More of that white pepper spice.

Nose

89 89

Intense and full nose, chocolate, sweetness, with a lot of caramel and dark notes. I get little direct alcohol even though the malt is over 50% vol.alk. Has. The scent is beautiful in the glass. I get more and more pickled fruits, some polish and lots of citrus notes. Here and there a little more menthol and more and more spice.

Taste

83 83

Significantly more storm on the palate than the nose promised, intense citrus notes, sweetness take over the entire mouth. It tickles the tongue a little. Significantly fresher and untamed then again wood, seasoning and some pepper. A little thin and then more intense ... light fruit and acidity. The darker notes only come back gradually when the palate has got used to it.

Finish

84 84

Not as intense as expected, but fine.

herbaceous, spicy, but also fresh on the palate, a little pastry with vanilla and tart apple
on the palate, sweet sensation, herbaceous, mentholated, still cereals and fruits in return (compote a little overcooked by the fire!), a little sweet, a little brandy, a little caramelized, the fruit draws on the candied pineapple, dark chocolate too.
the finish on sweet sherry, woody, spicy, vegetal again and this freshness that stays on the herbs.

For a toddler of 3 years this is a decent dram - easy to drink until it suddenly hits you - the floor that is as you'll be as pissed as a pudding.

Well worth a try.

Nose

85 85

Quite light on the nose, fruits (perhaps citrus), some wood.

Taste

85 85

A pleasant sweetness such as the syrup from tinned pineapple, but with a touch of gentle spice.

Finish

86 86

Surprisingly gentle, it lingers like love's first kiss.

The nose is great. The palate and finish are lot less. Herbal, green and too bitter. Almost like a rye, and I don’t like that (yet) ;)
The buttery nose is only found at the beginning of the taste... verdict for now 83 points / 6,5.
