Released in 2009, this is South Africa's first ever single grain whisky, coming from the The James Sedgwick Distillery in Wellington. Bain's Cape Mountain whisky is matured in first fill bourbon casks for an initial three years before spending a further two years in fresh first fill bourbon casks! It's named after the chap who built the first roads in Wellington.
Nose: Grapefruit peels, custard creams and icing sugar. Soon followed by nutmeg and vanilla sugar. Lightness throughout.
Palate: Soft and well-rounded with continued vanilla cream. Fresh pear, banana and hints of cardamom and oak.
Finish: The sweet citrus peels return, along with a little bit of meadowsweet.

I generally love the heavily peated Islay whisky’s but this is really just beautiful! Very smooth and a surprising amount of character.

I was pleasantly surprised. In North America we have a very wide choice and Bains just took up first place on my list of favourites. What a wonderful experience, soft subtle sipping whiskey. Add some friends, some biltong and a cool autumn Canadian evening and you have just passed into a state of Nirvana!

Given as a birthday gift, a lovely supprise of a whisky, soft fruit and caramel notes, smooth on the palate with a creamy mid finish, a new favourite dram that reminds me of some of the lesser known speyside malts. All in all a great wee dram 😁

I got bought a bottle of this for my birthday and it is gorgeous. Very smooth and definitely should be drunk neat (water/ice spoils it in my opinion)

Brought this lovely whisky back from SA after a fantastic 3 weeks there in February this year, luckily before the pandemic arrived. It's doing much to ease our lock down as well as tasting superb.

It calls itself a whisky but is made from corn which I'm still not sure if that makes it a whiskey.Either way, I'd heard this had won awards before going to Cape Town so was intrigued to try it.Crikey, was I impressed. Insanely smooth and easy drinking. So good I bought 2 bottles back and stupidly gifted one of them - their gain was certainly by loss.This whisk(e)y is immense.

Definite bourbon theme, more subtle than Jack Daniels etc, needs coke and ice for my palate. Not unpleasant!

This a light grain Whisky, which is better off in cocktails than drinking neat. The taste is ok, but not to my liking.KevDoncaster

It's a lovely whisky. I wasn't expecting it to be nearly as good as it is. Bit of a bourbon thing going on. But pretty complex and a bit to easy to drink. My new daily.

I've just cracked into my bottle. Lovely sweet fruity nose with custard and caramel. On the palate I enjoy a pleasant light flavour with oak, aromatic spiciness and sweet fruit. The finish is very pleasant, lingering nicely with a warmth and oakiness.This is pleasant light whisky, light but not at all boring. There's a lovely creamy dessert thing going on here. I recommend highly at the price.
