Whisky Kavalan Of. Solist Sherry Cask Cask Strength

Distilled from non-smoked, malted Scottish barley and produced using spring water from Snow Mountain, this whisky has been matured in Oloroso sherry barrels for many years in the subtropical climate of Taiwan. The heat and humidity accelerate the ageing process, increasing the amount of evaporation which reaches 15% after only two years. When a whisky is aged in a more temperate climate, this amount of evaporation would be seen after ten years. Bottled at cask strength, at 57.1%, without added colouring or chill-filtration, this single cask has only produced 540 bottles. The deep, amber whisky reveals an intense nose that mixes notes of dried fruits, nuts, spices, marzipan, chocolate, and mocha. The powerful palate with its very smooth texture is full of blackcurrant and pepper flavours. Its strength can require a drop of water to be added to the glass. This whisky possesses a huge complexity with ginger, medicinal herbs, and toasted notes detectable. A rich single cask that has taken many first places at the World Whisky Awards.
