Description

This cask of Solist Ex Bourbon was chosen by the team at The Spirits Company to be bottled exclusively for Australia. 179 Bottles were produced only.

Kavalan Solist ex-Bourbon is a delightfully complex, multi-dimensional single malt whisky, with vanilla, fruit and coconut highlights. Matured in hand selected fresh American ex-Bourbon casks, the whisky is available at cask strength and non chill-filtered hence it retains a fuller flavour of a natural single malt whisky.

What began as Kavalan's biggest challenge has become its secret ingredient—Taiwan's subtropical heat. It's the reason that Lee was told it couldn't be done, and now it's the reason Kavalan is able to supercharge the whisky maturation process, accomplishing in four or six years what might take a Scottish producer 15 or 25 years. The very simple explanation is that heat increases the interaction of the spirit with the wood, leading to more rapid and intense extraction of desired flavour compounds.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Clean & fresh tropical fruitiness with pleasant vanilla, coconut and spices.

Palate: Well-balanced natural sweetness, vanilla and oak spices, round and complex with silky smoothness
