Kavalan Solist Sherry Cask Matured 57.8% (70cl, 57.8%)

Single Oloroso Sherry cask matured whisky from Taiwan, bottled at 57.8% with neither chill filtration nor artificial colouring. Top stuff.

Nose: Sherried oak and dried fruit - deep and brooding. Marzipan, nuts, dates, vanilla and spice.

Palate: More of the same, full and extremely impressive. More mixed dark spices develop with cocoa.

Finish: Condensed Sherried goodness.

Overall: Very impressive indeed.
