Description
Founder's Collection 18 Year Old Fino Cask Finish is a single grain whisky that was originally made as Bains Cape Mountain Whisky. The whisky spent its first three years maturing in first fill casks previously used for bourbon before being re-vatted into a fresh set of first fill ex bourbon casks for a further two years. The whisky was then aged in American oak for an additional 10 years before being finished individually for three years in Fino sherry casks. The whisky was released in a limited edition of 1900 bottles.
This 18-year-old single grain whisky started its life off as Bains Cape Mountain Whisky which was awarded the Worlds Best Grain Whisky at the 2013 and 2018 World Whiskies Awards held in London. Bains is made from 100% sun-kissed South African grain and spends its first three years maturing in first fill casks previously used for bourbon before being re-vatted into a fresh set of first fill ex bourbon casks for a further two years. In crafting this 18-year-old Fino Cask Finish, the whisky spent an additional 10 years maturing in American oak before being finished individually for three years in Fino sherry casks.
