    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.

    Pleasant

    I don't think I've ever tried a single grain whisky, let alone one from outside Scotland. It's quite pleasant, easy drinking, bit bland compared to what I usually drink. Not too dear at least....

    The best grain whisky I have ever tasted and it's so reasonably priced. I'm a fairly new convert to a dram which I'm happy to return to. Just goes to prove that it doesn't have to be Scottish to be good.

    The best single grain out there!

    This is truly a magnificent single grain. Its a 100% corn whiskey with no real similarities to bourbon. This way way way above its price. Its a perfect Whiskey for sipping neat - but be careful an open bottle is an empty bottle. Very easy drinking.

    Well-priced, surprising!

    This is an interesting one. Sweet biscuits, tropical fruit (verging on the artificial, but in a nice, balanced way - think Pineapple Cubes and Pear Drops) and a deeper, lingering finish. It won't please lovers of traditional or ascetic Scots whiskies or American bourbons, it's quite Irish in its palate and edges towards the liqueur side of things, but there's a lot to like here if approached with an open mind.

    Probably the best grain that I have ever sampled - liked it so much that I ordered another couple of bottles.
