Portrait: What the Bimber Intercontinental - proudly supporting Sea Shepherd.

The Hellespont, now known as the Dardanelles, stretches between the European Gelibolu peninsula and northwestern Asia Minor. Up to six kilometers wide, the strait is a geographical dividing line between Europe and Asia. Anyone who swims from shore to shore connects continents. Like Alex and Nick Ravenhall as they crossed the water accompanied by a warm breeze.

The New Zealand brothers are as dedicated to the whisky industry as they are to the oceans . With their non-profit organization Whisky and Waves, the open water swimmers collect donations that go to Sea Shepherd's marine conservationists. This time they were once again supported by the iconic Bimber Distillery.

Each of their swims through the Dardanelles was accompanied by single malt from the Londoners, attached to their arms and legs. Bimber then filled the intercontinental drams back into the cask and perfected them in the Moscatel Cask No. 439 to create the single cask bottling “Intercontinental”.
