Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique Cask Strength (70cl, 57.8%)
Winner of the 2015 World Whisky Awards – Whisky of The Year
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Oily, malty, dried raisin with BBQ smoke bacon.
- Palate: BBQ smoke bacon, chocolate, dried apple and fig with elegant peat on the palate.
- Finish: Cinnamon and nutmeg. Long and round finish.
Colour: Deep autumn gold.
Nose: A rich fusion of vanilla and caramelised sugars with dark chocolate on top. Ripe melon and mango together with kiwi and a delicate blend of citrus fruits burst. Pepper is also present in the background waiting to be noticed. This bouquet is simply a sensational feast to your olfactory organ…
Palate: Caramel, marzipan, coffee-vanilla, fudge, rich, creamy, dried black fruits. Integrated and surprisingly light. Element of sandalwood. Starts creamy, waters out, almost disappears before rubbing hot brown sugar into the oesophagus. Tiny bitter trace.
