Kavalan Solist Ex Bourbon - SOLIST - Cask Strength 58.6% abv

The Kavalan Distillery is based in the mountainous region of Yilan, which sits just north of the tropic of Cancer, and this has profound effects on the spirit and the maturation, resulting in fairly concentrated whisky that is absolutely packed with a compelling range of tasting notes that may take several drams to fully explore. 

Only the best performing casks are selected for the Solist range and all of this combined results in some of the purest and most honest expressions possible, that take drinkers on a journey from the stunning, rolling hills of Yilan, through the cask maturation process and finally into your glass.

This new release brings soft coconut, lashings of vanilla, sweet oak and honey on the nose, before the palate arrives with toasted wood, gentle ginger spice and an array of tropical fruits that dance on your palate in tandem. The finish is long and fruity, backed up by sweet cinnamon that lasts until your next sip.
