Bimber

Bimber

Bimber was founded in London in 2015 by Dariusz Plazewski, drawing on his Polish distilling background; the name comes from the Polish word for moonshine. The distillery was built around traditional, hands-on whisky production at a time when English single malt was still a young category, with Bimber’s first casks laid down on 26 May 2016 and its inaugural single malt, The First, released in September 2019.

About Bimber

Bimber was founded in London in 2015 by Dariusz Plazewski, drawing on his Polish distilling background; the name comes from the Polish word for moonshine.

Production starts with barley from a single farm, which is floor malted, hand mashed and fermented for seven days in wooden washbacks made at the distillery’s own cooperage. Bimber uses direct-fired copper pot stills and bottles on site, with releases often showing a fruit-forward London single malt style across bourbon, sherry, virgin oak, wine cask and limited single cask bottlings.
