Tasting notes

Full of the aroma of clear honeydew melon. A complex and multi-layered fruity flavour along with toffee and cocoa. The finish is cider, coastal, and lightly salty. On the palate the body is balanced, slightly salty, intense, plenty of sweetness with vanilla flavour. Orange, melon, mint are conspicuous with fresh fruit complexity.

About this whisky

Kavalan is a Taiwanese distillery that has been producing high-quality spirits since 2005. Their Solist Manzanilla Sherry Single Cask is a unique and complex whisky that is sure to impress even the most discerning of drinkers.

The history of Kavalan is relatively short, but it is a story of innovation and dedication to quality. The distillery was founded by Mr. Tien-Tsai Lee, who was inspired by the natural beauty of the Yilan County in Taiwan. He saw the potential for creating a world-class whisky using the pure water and unique climate of the region.

The Solist Manzanilla Sherry Single Cask is a testament to Kavalan's commitment to quality. This whisky is aged in a single cask that previously held Manzanilla Sherry, a type of sherry that is known for its light and delicate flavour. The cask is carefully selected by Kavalan's master blender, who ensures that only the best casks are used for this special release.

The style of production at Kavalan is unique and innovative. The distillery uses a combination of traditional Scottish methods and modern technology to create their whiskies. The water used in the production process is sourced from the nearby Snow Mountain, which is known for its purity and mineral content. The whisky is then aged in a variety of casks, including ex-bourbon, ex-sherry, and ex-wine casks, to create a range of complex and unique flavours.

The Solist Manzanilla Sherry Single Cask is a prime example of Kavalan's dedication to innovation and quality. This whisky has a rich and complex flavour profile, with notes of honey, vanilla, and dried fruit. The finish is long and smooth, with a hint of spice and oak.

Overall, Kavalan's Solist Manzanilla Sherry Single Cask is a must-try for any whisky enthusiast. This unique and complex whisky is sure to impress with its rich flavour profile and dedication to quality.
