Ep. 70: Bimber Distillery with Matt McKay

Bimber is so damn exciting. It just is. Their Bimber Klub sold out in hours, and the Dunphail equivalent is close behind. Founded by Polish husband and wife Dariusz and Ewelina in 2015, this distillery in the City of London is quietly producing some amazing English single malt.

Between the liquid itself (the new make is a distillery exclusive but worthy of seeking out) and the various cask finishings, you might not get the cask you're looking for but you'll always find one that's good. 

My guest, Matt, has multiple titles that still don't encompass the full range of duties he has. This is one that more than anything looks towards the future, of what English, Polish, and Scotch distilling can be. I'll be visiting in London in April. I promise I'll report back!

If you haven’t joined the Patreon community yet, please consider doing so!

  • The $5 tier has access to the Patreon-only segment called “Under the Influencer”, where some of your favorite YouTubers/Instagrammers/Podcasters and more join me to talk whiskey, life, and influencing. This tier will also have priority access to upcoming barrel picks, including one coming up in partnership with the This is my Bourbon Podcast. 
  • The $25 tier - for people who really want to propel the pod and website forward - will have the same benefits as the $5 tier plus right of first refusal to join me on future barrel picks, access to bottles I'm sent to taste and review, and more. The first six boxes of samples have already been sent and only 4 spots remain! 

You can still support for as little as $1 a month if you’d like to stay up to date with these changes and news about what we’ve got coming up. 

Finally, please do like and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you’re listening - it really helps the Whiskey Ring Podcast move up the rankings.
