    Bain's Cape Mountain Whisky

    First 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.

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    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.

    Long drinks

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

    Its different

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

    Very very good.

    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.

    Good, in a different way

    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.

    recommended

    just came back from South Africa yesterday Cape Town and my brother who lives there actually recommend that i should maybe just try this so purchased a litre bottle at airport current exchange rate it worked out about £18 and must say have thoroughly enjoyed a few drams tonight
