If you're a fan of vanilla/toffee dominant whiskies, Bains Single Grain is a great shout, at a great price. It is soft and sweet on the nose, light and smooth on the palette with full vanilla flavours and some fruity undertones. Finish is smooth, medium length. A delightfully cheap and enjoyable grain whiskey!

I was happily surprised by this. Hadn't expected such a good drink from South Africa. A unique flavour, which I fully enjoyed sipping on.

Nose: corn, vanilla, floral. Taste: honey, musty, oak. A delightful surprise when I went to buy a second corn whisky. This is so light and sweet and enjoyable. Definite buy at $30.

meh!

Carmund, Sep 12, 2020

It is sweet, but good. I can only drink a little if it at a time. Nice flavor-

Richard, Aug 2, 2020

Great nose and smooth finish. No need for water ice on this one.

William, Jul 15, 2020

Very smooth. The aftertaste is excellent.

Brad, Jun 29, 2020

Have you ever looked at the ingredients in vanilla extract? It’s like 95% alcohol, one drop of water, and a blast of vanilla bean. This whiskey takes the liquid fire of that vanilla extract shot we used to do in high school and makes a drink that you don’t need to chase with milk

Shaeli, Jun 16, 2020

A little harsh at first, but the flavors underneath are very warm and smooth!

Richard, Jun 14, 2020

Very smooth and a nice flavour

Jani, May 22, 2020

My go-to sipper! So smooth and flavourful. Loving the creamy toffee and vanilla.

Kevin, Apr 30, 2020

Very good, smooth and easy drinking.

Ryan, Apr 24, 2020

Great taste with a smooth finish. A little sweeter than your average, but I have a sweet tooth and love it.

Michael, Apr 22, 2020

Smooth, slightly sweet.

Justin, Apr 16, 2020

Good

George, Mar 13, 2020

Smooth mellow relaxing

Michael, Feb 10, 2020

This has to be tasted to be believed. Mellow. Lots of vanilla. Pleasant finish. If you paid twice the price you would still think it worth it.

Christopher, Jan 30, 2020

Uniquely mellow and easy to sip

Chris, Jan 19, 2020

Easy drinker with bits of real tiger!

Mark, Oct 12, 2019

Very smooth. Easy to drink on the rocks

Sean, Jun 13, 2019

I didn’t get a great taste from it from beginning to end.

Eric, May 7, 2019

This is a delicious whiskey, smooth and irresistibly drinkable.

Price, Mar 11, 2019

We loved it. My friends loved it. Iam the hit of the party because no one can find it on line unless you are in the flaviar club.

Brandon, Mar 9, 2019

I bought this for my future son in laws family from South Africa and found out they dont like bourbon. Still enjoyed it. Has a smooth caramel flavor and has a oaky finish. Not something to rush out for but is just as enjoyable as a regular Kentucky bourbon.

Steve, Feb 26, 2019

Ordered and drank this bottle a while ago, but I remember liking it. I was expecting more of a corn flavor, but it was still enjoyable. Light and sweet.

Price, Feb 18, 2019

It was so so smooth it was the most powerfully smooth whiskey I ever had

Andrew, Feb 17, 2019

This was very good. I love the notes of vanilla

Robert, Feb 12, 2019

Nutty

Matthew, Feb 9, 2019

I found this to be a very pleasant whiskey. Very light and sweet with vanilla taste. Definitely pleasantly surprised

Daniel, Jan 26, 2019

It’s a bit sweet for my liking... probably better as a higher quality mixer than straight up sipping whisky.

David, Jan 26, 2019

This my friends, is it tasty drink. If you're looking for an interesting whiskey... (and we all know what I really mean by that)... If you're looking for a whiskey that will make you seem more interesting than you really are, pick up this South African Queen. With this bottle as a conversation piece in your home, you're sure to lock down your second wife in no time.

Emmy, Jan 23, 2019

It's not bad. Pretty strong alcohol flavor up front (even for being a fairly low ABV whisky) but once you get past that the flavor is ok, even pretty decent. It grows on you. Still, probably wouldn't buy it again.

Robyn, Jan 18, 2019

This is great for sipping. It’s smooth but flavorful. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed drinking this straight.

Craig, Jan 17, 2019

It has a really nice flavor but is pretty light, I also think a whiskey needs a little bite but if you like a super smooth whiskey definitely give this a try.

Tyler, Jan 11, 2019

Really smooth and really tasty. Absolutely love the taste of this whiskey

John, Dec 11, 2018

All I can say is I love this whiskey!!

Max, Nov 21, 2018

Ridiculously smooth

John, Nov 20, 2018

Love it!

John, Nov 20, 2018

I love this whiskey!! It’s smooth without a barky bite!!

John, Oct 28, 2018

Love this whiskey smooth and powerful

Lara, Oct 12, 2018

I like the subtle notes of vanilla and oak and the smooth finish. Not a huge bold flavor.

Matthias, Sep 8, 2018

Excellent. Very light

Brittany, Aug 27, 2018

Too sweet for me, all I could taste was vanilla & maple. Was originally purchasing as a sipping whisky but will now use it for cocktails only. Not bad though

Brian, Aug 23, 2018

Overall a fun drink. Great aroma and smooth finish. I imagine it would mix well, but I mostly drink straight. As such, the sweetness was a bit too much for me.

Tristan, Aug 16, 2018

Sweet maple nose. Orange marmalade on the palate with spice on the finish. Pretty sweet and decent to mix with.

Cancel, Aug 16, 2018

I loved this whiskey with a little coke I can taste the vanilla flavor not over powering great mix.will buy again.

Antti, Aug 5, 2018

It is a very good, rich, Single Grain Whisky with a sweet birth, a full life & a long & delicate death.

James, Jul 18, 2018

Shared a bottle over 2 nights among 3 people, and a few samplers. Everybody liked it, even some none whisky drinkers. I would hold this up to many of the good bourbons I have tried. But ultimately, I still like a smoky scotch better.

garrett, Jul 13, 2018

Very good light whisky. Good flavier upfront and the finish is smooth.

Matthew, Jul 7, 2018

Delicious

Kevin, Jul 6, 2018

Smooth with a little more spice than i prefer.

David, Jul 3, 2018

Not as sweet as I thought it would be. Nice finish. Clean aftertaste.

Scott, Jun 7, 2018

Wasn't sure what to expect - extremely nice surprise to get such taste at this price. Would expect to pay double for this quality. The sweetness isn't "too much" and is a great & unique addition to the liquor cabinet.

Jeremy, Jun 1, 2018

Nice easy drinking, smooth and unique whisky. May be more of a 7 but for the price, I’ll give it 8 stars.

Katherine, May 11, 2018

Sweet, but surprisingly balanced. Very smooth. Not much Aroma, and not a long finish. This is a whiskey I could drink all night.

Mathew, May 6, 2018

It has a bit of a floral aroma that had me worried. But this is an easy sipping whiskey. Vanilla and caramel with a touch of fruit.

Michael, Mar 20, 2018

This is very good whiskey and for the price point, the is awesome whiskey. It is hard to find, but when you do get 2.

Dustin, Feb 19, 2017

Amazing. I bought a couple bottles a few years ago, but can't readily find it her in the US. Smooth, clean finish and simple. It's a shame its not readily available here.
