Customer Reviews
“Silky and complex. Like drinking silk soaked in sun and sherry.”
“Owned many Solists. This is the most elegant by far.”
“The Ian Chang signature? That’s history in a bottle.”

Interesting Fact
Fino sherry casks were once almost impossible to use for aging whisky due to their delicate nature. Kavalan not only mastered them, they turned them into their most refined weapon.

Serving Suggestions
Enjoy neat in a tulip glass. Add a few drops of water only if you're ready to uncover even more layers, think jasmine, toasted coconut, and green apple peel.
