The Kavalan SOLIST Single Malt Whisky Port Cask shows the fruity, warm and sweetish-soft style for which the Kavalan Distillery has been internationally renowned for many years. This single cask bottling matures in selected first fill port casks, whose Portuguese sweet wine character gives the whisky its characteristic depth. The intensive cask maturation in Taiwan's tropical, humid climate ensures a particularly dense structure and a balanced interplay of fruit, wood and gentle sweetness. It is bottled in natural cask strength at 54% by volume, completely non-chill filtered and without colorants, which preserves its authentic profile. The elegant gift box (GB) rounds off its high-quality appearance and underlines its place within the renowned Kavalan Solist series, which stands for uncompromising cask quality.
The influence of the port cask gives this port cask single malt its soft, sweet aroma, which is supported by dark fruits, wood tones and spicy nuances. The combination of natural cask strength, selected sweet wine casks and tropical maturation creates a multi-faceted whisky that impresses with a warm, harmonious structure and clearly stands out from classic sherry or bourbon maturations.

It also creates a harmonious interplay with nutty pastries such as walnut cake or almond macaroons. The whisky creates a sweet and spicy contrast with mild, creamy cheeses such as Brie or lightly spiced soft cheeses.
