Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique 2017 (57.8%) Taiwanese Whisky

70cl / 57.8% / Distillery Bottling - This series of consistently high-quality vinho barrique aged single malts helped bring Kavalan distillery to the world stage. The intense heat in the Kavalan warehouses in Taiwan means that the interaction between spirit and cask is extremely pronounced. Matured in re-charred American oak wine barrels, this single cask expression is bottled at cask strength and non-chill filtered. The nose shows vanilla, caramelised sugar, ripe melon and mango, with hints of kiwi and citrus.
