Kavalan Solist Sherry Single Cask Strength – Single Barrel
Brand: Kavalan | Category: Single Malt / Cask Strength | ABV: Varies per cask (~55–59%) | Origin: Yilan, Taiwan | Vol: 70cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Like walking into a Spanish bodega, heavy with dark raisins, fig compote, cinnamon sticks, and polished wood.
Palate: Thick, syrupy texture that floods the mouth with dates, burnt caramel, spice cake, espresso, and black cherries. Rich and almost chewy.
Finish: Monumental. A cascade of dried fruits, warm spice, and tannic oak that lingers like the final note of a symphony.

Production Details:
Matured exclusively in Oloroso sherry butts imported from Spain, this single barrel whisky is bottled at natural cask strength and left unfiltered. Taiwan’s humid climate turbocharges the aging, drawing deep sherry character into the whisky in fewer years, a perfect storm of craftsmanship and nature.

Perfect For:
Cold, contemplative nights, leather armchairs, and books with yellowed pages. This is not for casual sipping, it’s for moments when boldness is the only option.

Expert Notes:
A frequent gold medalist at global competitions, including ISC and WWA, the Solist Sherry Cask was once named World’s Best Single Malt by the World Whiskies Awards. It’s a benchmark bottle for sherry lovers and proof that Kavalan plays in the big leagues.

Customer Reviews:
🗣️ “This stuff is like drinking velvet-dipped raisins, intense, luxurious, unforgettable.”
🗣️ “I’ve had sherry bombs before, but nothing hits like this. It’s dessert and drama in one glass.”

Interesting Fact:
Each sherry cask used in Kavalan Solist is personally inspected and pre-seasoned in Spain before shipping to Taiwan, part of Kavalan’s obsession with total flavor control.

Serving Suggestions:
Sip neat for the full, unbridled experience. If the cask strength feels overpowering, add a few drops of water, watch it bloom with more fruit and spice. Best enjoyed slowly, ideally after dark.
