Thoughts 💭 :  Shoulders of Giants – Bimber: Witkiewicz – The Artist is a limited-edition release, exclusively available in Poland, celebrating the creative legacy of Polish painter, writer, and philosopher Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz (1885–1939). Known for his bold and eccentric style, Witkiewicz (often known as “Witkacy”) challenged traditional artistic norms through both his visual art and written works. His unique, imaginative approach aligns with the spirit of innovation that Bimber brings to whisky-making.

This expression was matured in a single Oloroso cask, a choice that enhances the whisky’s rich, sherried depth and introduces layers of fruity and spicy complexity. Adding another dimension, this whisky is peated, offering smoky undertones that beautifully complement the Oloroso influence. Bottled at cask strength, this peated release pays homage to Witkiewicz’s daring artistry, making it a fitting tribute for those who appreciate both creative and whisky craftsmanship.

Sláinte!
