Bimber London Rum Blanco England

Bimber Distillery London Rum is noted as a Single Blended Rum. A mixture of Pot and Column Distilled rum fermented using a unique yeast strain designed by Darius. Bimber have tried to give consumers a very flavourful rum but one which is priced to compete with established white rum brands.

Bimber Distillery London Rum is produced in batches of 1,000 bottles.

Presentation wise, we get a standard bar style bottle with a synthetic cork stopper. Presentation is clean and information is given about the actual rum. Rather than any fairy stories. Well played Bimber.

In the glass we are presented with a clear white spirit. A very standard “white” rum.

The nose however definitely not. Strong scents of caramel, toffee, brown sugar and some chocolate raisins.Further nosing reveals a white pepper note and some light ginger. Notes of vanilla and cream custard also add a nice balance to the nose on this rum.

Surprisingly smooth and light on the palate. Ginger and custard are again present alongside stoned fruits such as peach and apricots.

It is a surprisingly easy rum to drink but it definitely adds a lot of flavour – I had heard good things about this rum from a number of people in the Rum game, who I respect. I tried it at London Rumfest and was pleased my wife took the hint and got me a bottle for Christmas. It was good to find a bit of a gem at a really good price.
