The Bain’s Cape Mountains Whisky 10-Year-Old Shiraz cask finish is an aromatic, full-bodied expression released at cask strength to demonstrate the creatively that our Founder Distiller has brought to the world of whisky.

After Bain’s Cape Mountain Whisky initial double maturation, Andy finished the whisky for a further five years in ex-shiraz American Oak casks.

Un-chillfiltered and natural in colour the whisky is presented in its purest form.

Shiraz Casks are rarely selected as a whisky finish, yet the complexity of the seasoned Shiraz casks selected enrich Bains’s Cape Mountain Whisky with layers of earthy red fruit and pepper, enlivening the whisky’s signature aromas of vanilla, toffee and spice.

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.
