Bain’s Cape Mountain Whisky, the proudly South
African single grain premium whisky, stole the show at this year’s New York
International Spirits Competition, when it received a double gold award.
The distinctive taste of Bain’s Cape Mountain
Whisky has impressed the palates of elite whisky connoisseurs around the world
to such an extent, that it has received prestigious accolades at all the major
international whisky competitions. It is one of the most talked about whiskies
in the world, since being awarded the World’s Best Grain Whisky at the 2013
World Whisky Awards held in March this year.
Bain’s Cape Mountain Whisky is crafted from
the finest South African grain and holds toffee, floral and vanilla aromas
softened by sweet, spicy undertones, a warm mouth-feel and a long, smooth
finish. The whisky is double-matured, spending three years in casks previously
used for bourbon and then re-vatted for a period of time in a fresh set of
casks. This allows maximum interaction between the wood and the whisky.
Distilled at The James Sedgwick Distillery in
Wellington, Bain’s Cape Mountain Whisky is inspired by the natural beauty of
the Bain’s Kloof Pass. The whisky pays tribute to Andrew
Geddes Bain, the pioneering pass builder who planned and built Bain’s Kloof
Pass in 1853 to connect Wellington to the interior.
Bain’s Cape Mountain
Whisky is available from leading liquor outlets and retails for about R220.
