BAIN’S

Bain’s distinctive aromas and delicate smooth flavour is a result of its unique provenance, climate and ingredients. The only whisky in the world to use 100% South African sun-kissed grain in its uniquely warm location. Uniquely double matured; first aged for three years in first-fill bourbon casks and then for another two years in fresh first-fill bourbon casks.

TASTING NOTES:

Aroma: Floral, banana, honey, toasted hazelnuts and toffee aromas unravel with wood, vanilla and spice.

Taste: Vanilla, cocoa butter and light spices from the casks lead to a warm mouthfeel and long, exceptionally smooth finish.

Pairing: Superb with spicy curries, smoked meats, salmon and sweet-chilli cashew nuts.

BAIN’S CAPE MOUNTAIN WHISKY 10YO SHIRAZ CASK FINISH

The Bain’s Cape Mountains Whisky 10-Year-Old Shiraz cask finish is an aromatic, full-bodied expression released at cask strength to demonstrate the creatively that our Founder Distiller has brought to the world of whisky.

After Bain’s Cape Mountain Whisky initial double maturation, Andy finished the whisky for a further five years in ex-shiraz American Oak casks.

Un-chill filtered and natural in colour the whisky is presented in its purest form.

Shiraz Casks are rarely selected as a whisky finish, yet the complexity of the seasoned Shiraz casks selected enrich Bains’s Cape Mountain Whisky with layers of earthy red fruit and pepper, enlivening the whisky’s signature aromas of vanilla, toffee and spice.
