Bimber Spirit of the Underground

This exceptional Bimber London single malt, single cask release was drawn from a virgin oak cask and celebrates Leicester Square station. Cask No.331 was bottled in November 2022 and produced only 271 individually numbered bottles, at a cask strength of 60.3%. The Spirit of the Underground Series celebrates one of the great engineering projects of the past 200 years. A subterranean labyrinth steeped in history that empowers the true lifeblood of London - its people. Originally proposed to be named Cranbourn Street, Leicester Square station was opened in 1906. The lifts to the Piccadilly and Northern line platforms at the station were replaced in the 1930s with banks of escalators, whilst the shafts were retained to aid ventilation. Initially a residential area, Leicester Square is now a bustling tourist centre featuring famous cinemas regularly used for film premiers.
