Bain's Cape Mountain is a South African brand of whisky distilled at the James Sedgwick distillery in Wellington, Western Cape. Launched in 2009, Bain's is South Africa's first whisky produced from a single grain, being made from 100% South African-grown yellow maize.
The Bain's Founders Collection 18 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish is a single grain whisky that showcases the craft of South African whisky production. Initially matured in bourbon casks and finished in Oloroso sherry casks, it offers a unique taste profile that combines the warm sweetness of traditional whisky with the complex, full-bodied flavors typical of sherry cask finishing.
Nose:
The whisky exudes a complex aroma with upfront notes of nuts, figs, and raisins, combined with a broader spectrum of fruity undertones. This bouquet is indicative of its aging in Oloroso sherry casks, which impart deep, enriched scents.
Palate:
On the palate, it presents a full and rich texture. Flavors of toffee and dark chocolate are prominent, accompanied by nutty nuances and a silky smoothness. These flavors are a testament to the dual influence of the initial bourbon cask and the subsequent Oloroso sherry cask aging, which adds layers of complexity.
Finish:
The finish is warm and long, characterized by sherried oak and a well-balanced sweetness. This enduring finish highlights the quality and depth brought on by the Oloroso sherry cask, leaving a lasting impression of refinement and richness.
