Boplaas Single Grain Tawny Port Finish 8 Year Old

Description

Brand: Boplaas
Category: Whisky
Type: Single Grain
Region: South Africa
Strength: 56% alc/vol

Boplaas distillery was awarded “Best South African Whisky Producer 2025” in the World Whisky Awards.
The Boplaas 8 Year Old Single Cask Grain Whisky is the colour of dark mahogany and resembles an old Cognac.
It was distilled from South African yellow maize and then spent five years in second and third-fill bourbon barrels, followed by three years in barrels that formerly held Boplaas Cape Tawny Reserve Port. Each sojourn imparted unique character to the spirit, rounding it off to perfection.
The whisky was then bottled at cask strength of 56% alcohol and in its most natural form – unfiltered and unfined.
Just 300 bottles of this fine spirit have been produced.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Intense oak presence with matured raisin, tawny port layers, warm vanilla, and sweet caramel.
Palate: Full-bodied and luxurious—bold notes of oak, dried fruit, spicy port, and soft winter spice unfold seamlessly.
Lingering and elegant, with dried fruit, toasted oak, and warming spice that finishes beautifully.
