Kavalan Sherry Oak 92 Proof Taiwanese Single Malt Whisky (750ml)

SKU #1217998 91 points Whisky Advocate

This dark, walnut-colored dram delivers the fabulous first-fill sherry cask characteristics we love: raisin, mixed peel, fruitcake, marzipan, Brazil nut, jellied fruits, and nutmeg. So wonderfully thick and chewy that you need to resist the temptation to pick up a knife and fork. It imparts dark weighty fruit, blackened oak, cooked apple, and a twister of peppery turmoil. Add water liberally to unlock figs, dates, and plums. (JM, Fall 2018)

K&L Notes

The little brother to Kavalan's Solist sherry-aged whisky, the Sherry Oak release brings down the proof to a standard 46% and adds more supple Spanish Oloroso flavor. Kavalan's unique sub-tropical environment allows the whisky to soak up heavy amounts of that Oloroso richness in a short amount of time, making the whisky incredibly decadent. Awarded 93 points and a gold medal by the Beverage Testing Institute.
