Description
This whisky is a 18-year-old single grain whisky that was originally made as Bains Cape Mountain Whisky. It was awarded the Worlds Best Grain Whisky at the 2013 and 2018 World Whiskies Awards. The whisky was then aged in first fill casks previously used for bourbon, before being re-vatted into a fresh set of first fill ex-bourbon casks for a further two years. In crafting this whisky, the whisky spent an additional 10 years maturing in American oak before being finished individually for three years in Oloroso sherry casks. The whisky has a deep mahogany color and a complex nose with upfront nuts, figs, raisins and fruit. The whisky is full and rich with toffee, hints of dark chocolate, nuts and a silky smoothness. The finish is warm and long with hints of sherried oak and a well-balanced sweetness. The whisky is bottled at 1L.
