South African whisky part of international publication choice
In the most recent edition of Ian Buxton's 101 Whiskies To Try Before You Die, which went on sale last week, Bain's Cape Mountain Whisky was listed in the UK's best-selling whisky publication.
The book is a guide to broaden any whisky lover's experience in discovering the various whisky offerings available throughout the world - from Sweden to Japan to South Africa and Scotland. Having worked in the whisky industry for more than two decades, Buxton has built up a reputation for his knowledge and this he shares in his unique book. The whiskies listed are according to him not an awards list but rather a definitive guide to whiskies that enthusiasts should taste to extend their whisky education.
Including South Africa's first 100% single grain whisky in his selection is an achievement for its creator, Andy Watts, master distiller at The James Sedgwick Distillery in Wellington.
The whisky is available from leading liquor outlets and retails for about R200.
