The James Sedgwick Distillery is the only commercial whisky distillery in Africa and unique in South Africa in terms of state-of-the-art equipment and sophisticated sustainability projects. In 1991, Andy Watts, as Master Distiller, oversaw the move of whisky production from a small distillery in Stellenbosch to the James Sedgwick Distillery in Wellington, which is now home to Bain’s Cape Mountain Whisky and Three Ships Whisky. With over 36 years of expertise in the whisky industry, Andy Watts is considered the leader of the whisky revolution in South Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Distilled in 2007 from malted barley in copper stills and aged for 12 years in a combination of older and younger small American oak casks that influences the final flavor, color and character. The accelerated interaction between the spirit, the cask and the atmosphere results in a spectacular single malt with depth of flavor, balance and exceptional smoothness. The whiskey is light golden in color and is a special bottling. The distinct smoky, peaty influence is complemented by pepper, dried peaches, citrus, and an earthy note. The finish is warm, creamy and spicy with delicate licorice lingering in the mouth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":121363,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2170,2228],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-121474","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-whisky-en","product_cat-world-en","pa_bottling_date-keine-angabe-en-2","pa_cask_type-keine-angabe-en-2","pa_country-southafrica","pa_destillation_age-12-en","pa_destillation_date-2007-en-2","pa_region-keine-angabe-en-2","pa_whisky_bottler-keine-angabe-en-2","pa_whisky_bottler_series-keine-angabe-en-2","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"\n
