This 15-year-old single grain whisky started its life off as Bain’s Cape Mountain Whisky. Bain’s Cape Mountain Whisky is the only whisky in the world to be made from 100% sun-kissed South African grain and spends first three years maturing in casks previously used for bourbon before being revatted into a fresh set of ex-bourbon casks for a further two years. In crafting this 15-year-old, the whisky spent an additional 10 years maturing in older American oak to reveal new depths and layers of flavour and smoothness.
