BY DKC (DE KOCK COMMUNICATIONS ON BEHALF OF BAIN’S CAPE MOUNTAIN WHISKY
Looking for something
unique, exceptional and world class to share this festive season? Then make
sure Bain’s Cape Mountain Whisky, awarded the title of the world’s best grain
whisky at the 2013 World Whisky Awards, is on your shopping list.
Whether looking for a
gift for your boss, best friend, your dad or simply to thank the hosts at a
Christmas dinner, the proudly South African Bain’s Cape Mountain Whisky won’t
fail to impress.
In addition to the
world title Bain’s Cape Mountain Whisky also received double gold at the 2013
New York International Spirits Competition, gold at the 2013 International Wine
and Spirits Competition, for the fourth consecutive year as well as gold and
best in class at the 2013 International Spirits Challenge in London, competing
against whiskies from around the world.
The whisky is made
from only three natural ingredients – water, yeast and grain – and owes its
exceptional smoothness and distinctive flavour profile to the carefully
selected oak barrels, previously used for maturing bourbon in America, in which
it is matured. Bain’s Cape Mountain Whisky spends three years maturing in these
barrels where after it is transferred to a different set of ex-bourbon barrels
to extract the maximum flavour from the wood. Regular tastings by the master
distiller and his team ensure that the maturation produces the quality and
style desired.
The whisky is
exceptionally smooth with toffee, floral and vanilla aromas softened by sweet,
spicy undertones.
Bain’s Cape Mountain
Whisky is distilled and matured at The James Sedgwick Distillery in Wellington
in the Boland and is inspired by the natural beauty of the Bain’s Kloof Pass.
The whisky is crafted from the finest South African grain and pays
tribute to Andrew Geddes Bain, the pioneering road builder who 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,
with or without a gift tin.
