Kavalan Solist Pedro Ximenez Sherry Cask Taiwanese Single Malt Whisky

Kavalan Solist Pedro Ximenez Sherry Cask is a single cask strength single malt whisky distilled, matured and bottled at the Kavalan Distillery in Yuanshan Township, Yilan County, Taiwan. Kavalan regards its PX Sherry as a classic of the distillery: new make spirit matured in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks takes on the house character of fruit, nuts and chocolate, while the subtropical heat of Yilan gives a smooth, mellow richness. This release comes from a single PX sherry cask bottled without reduction at 57.8% ABV, with its individual cask and bottle numbers printed on the label.

Tasting Notes: Herbal citrus and toffee leading to raisin, honey and sweet oak.

Nose: Rosemary, a hint of lemongrass, sweet citrus and toffee, closing on sweet oak.

Palate: Fruity and warm, with juicy raisin and honey syrup that linger.

Serve: Neat in a nosing glass; at cask strength, a few drops of water can open it up.
