Picked up a bottle on a whim. Man it's harsh. Definitely a mixer only

Yup definitely mixer material, glad I didn't pay this price for it.

Yep...YOU.

For not telling everyone on here in time, that the Whisky was launched on CFS.

Anyway I was just bragging with the 5 bottles...three of them are for friends and friends of friends, that didn't manage to get any.

I'll drink one and probably keep the other one for either a drinking or financial emergency.

@dualmeister just pulling your leg about yesterday's "secrecy"...all in good fun.

Thanks Quinn for helping your smaller whisky community. You've definitely got some skills in getting more than the rest of us plebs.

I see the Bain's 10yo Shiraz Cask is back on the JSD site.

Bain's Cape Mountain Whisky 10 Year Old Shiraz Cask Finish – The James Sedgwick Distillery

Enjoy layers of earthy red fruit and pepper, enlivening the whisky’s signature aromas of vanilla, toffee and spice.

Just be careful with the corks. Mostly old stock and brittle corks. I'd suggest lying on its side for a day to let the Cork soften and then open slowly.

Pleasure, just went there and took the other 6 in addition to the 3 I picked up on Sunday. 8 of them will be going to the Western Cape for friends down there.

So it really was old stock. Looks like a very old label.

Indeed, no complaints for 300 bucks though was cheaper than the Buffalo Trace.
