Bain's Cape Mountain Whisky
Single Grain — Western Cape, South Africa
Reviewed
March 19, 2019 (edited November 2, 2019)
Nose: Lemon peel, grass, caramel, and vanilla.
Palate: incredibly sweet. Butterscotch, vanilla, creme brûlée, and cinnamon.
Finish: Medium, mostly citrus fruits with some wood and baking spice.
Overall: BELOW AVERAGE. While it is reasonably priced, the only real appeal to this whiskey is that it’s South African, and therefore different. It’s a single grain whiskey that essentially only incorporates corn in the mashbill. Because of this, it’s flavor profile is very similar to a bourbon, but there are far better bourbons available for the price. There are also single grain whiskies that are much better than this. Finally, there are better examples of whiskey from countries outside Scotland or America. If you’re curious about this, give it a try, but I highly doubt you’ll buy a second bottle.

@AJ_Chou I gave Talisker 10 4 stars, and this isn’t nearly as good as that. Thanks for the like and the feedback though!
I think the so called 'incredible sweet' should be at least 4 stars. cheers anyway good detailed TN.
