First Impressions
Fino casks are notoriously delicate, and almost no distillery uses them for full maturation — Kavalan does.
Distillery & Heritage
The Solist Fino has been crowned World's Best Single Cask Single Malt at the World Whiskies Awards, and famously a single Fino cask once sold for over a million US dollars.
Tasting Notes in Detail
The nose offers dried apricot, almond, beeswax and marzipan with cedar and a faint saline note. The palate is intense and layered.
Verdict
Kavalan at the absolute peak of its powers.
