Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique - 70cl 56.3%
by Anonymous
Got a bottle of this delivered super quick! I’ve only had 1 other kavalan before this and thought why not take a gamble with this one. So happy I did, definitely paid off. It is quite a light whisky, but works super well after a heavy meal. Light, but not without character. Refreshing fruitiness comes through with the oaky-ness keeping it grounded.

Hmm, first thing that hits the back of the throat is a strong sensation of sugar (cane?), dont know if its intentional. An aquired taste. After a while it settled down to a subtler sweet taste which mixed nicely with the tabacco. Have a few more, see how I get on with them, so Im not sure if Ill buy them again.

This is what I’d call our “Classic” black cherry blend. It has a nicely varied base consisting of Virginias, Burley and Cavendish. The cherry flavouring definitely takes the forefront of the taste, but that’s not to say it totally overrides the taste of the tobacco; the slightly sweet Virginia and toasty Cavendish do occasionally poke their heads through the flavouring. If you’re looking to try out cherry blends, this is a great place to start.

Raspberries, blackcurrant and a whiff of wine notes are predominant on the nose. On the palate is very gentle with lots of dried fruits, praline and apricots. A little earthy on the finish with hints of toffee filled biscuits.Overall a very balanced dram.

This is a whisky you definitely need to lay back and enjoy unhurried.Dark and complex, raisins and thick chocolate notes, the influence of the sherry cask is very predominant. Slight peppery notes on the finish, dry oak sweetness and creamy vanilla. For a 21 year old it deserves the £100+ price tag.
