Description
The Kavalan SOLIST Fino Sherry Cask is an impressive single cask bottling from the renowned Kavalan Distillery and exemplifies the exceptional cask expertise of the Taiwanese distillery. As part of the acclaimed SOLIST series, this single malt is bottled at cask strength and comes from a single fino sherry cask, which gives the whisky its distinctive, dry and structured character. At 57% vol., this bottling is presented natural, non-chill-filtered and without colouring. The whisky is delivered in a high-quality wooden box, which further emphasises its exclusive character.
Maturation in fino sherry casks is comparatively rare in the whisky world and differs significantly from the rich, sweet influences of classic oloroso or PX casks. In combination with Taiwan’s warm, humid climate, the maturation process is accelerated, resulting in intense cask interaction, depth and concentration. The Kavalan Solist Fino Sherry Cask is aimed at experienced connoisseurs and collectors who appreciate dry sherry cask profiles, cask strength and uncompromising single cask quality. Each bottle is unique and reflects the individual cask characteristics.
