South Africa, 40%
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.
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.
