The Kavalan OLOROSO SHERRY OAK Single Malt Whisky 46% Vol. 0.7 l + GB is based on the well-known Solist Oloroso Sherry, but is adjusted to a drinking strength of 46% with pure Kavalan spring water. The result is an accessible, clearly structured bottling that is ideal for sharing and retains the typical signature of the Taiwanese Kavalan Distillery. The maturation in selected Oloroso sherry casks has a lasting effect on the character of this whisky and gives it a complex combination of dried fruit, nutty aromas and subtle spice. Each bottle comes in an elegant gift box, which visually enhances this edition and makes it an appealing addition for lovers of sherry-accented single malts

With its combination of cask intensity, precise reduction and natural aromatics, this Taiwan single malt whisky embodies a clear, multi-layered style. The naturalness of the product is fully preserved, as Kavalan does not use color additives or chill filtration. The Oloroso Sherry Oak has a long-lasting, balanced structure that is convincing both on its own and as an accompaniment to selected dishes. Its combination of depth, clarity and harmonious sweetness makes it a successful addition to the Kavalan portfolio and a single malt that particularly highlights the potential of sherry casks in a warm climate.

The Kavalan Oloroso Sherry Oak is ideal for pure enjoyment, especially after a meal or in quiet moments when its sherry-accented depth comes to the fore. A perfectly roasted steak harmonizes perfectly with its nutty and spicy elements and enhances the powerful character of the whisky. Dark chocolate, pralines with a nut filling or caramelized nuts also go perfectly with the warm dried fruit notes. Matured cheese, such as Manchego or a nutty hard cheese, is also a harmonious addition. In mixology, it lends a deeper fruit structure to classic whisky drinks and is ideal for elegant after-dinner cocktails. As a digestif, it provides a warm, round and long-lasting aromatic finish.
