Bain's Cape Mountain Whisky
Single Grain — Western Cape, South Africa
Reviewed November 17, 2019 (edited July 6, 2020)Nov 2019. Clear gold. Small tulip. Powerful sweet vanilla, banana, maple syrup, sweet butterscotch, sweeten kernel fruit, sweet caramel vanilla brûlée and vanilla pudding in nose. Medium full body with wood spicy, dried sweet spicy, butterscotch, maple syrup, overripe pear and overripe melon in palate. Awesome sweet balance with wood spicy, like a intense and heavy straight punch on face. Sweet smooth finish. Lot’s of oak in both nose and taste but not like bourbon whiskey which contains plastic, paraffin or even petroleum nose. And definitely more intense than the Suntory Chita single grain due to the double 1st fill bourbon cask maturation. -
