Kavalan SOLIST Manzanilla Sherry Cask 58.6% ABV, 0.7l in a wooden box online kaufen

The Kavalan SOLIST Manzanilla Sherry Cask is an exceptional single malt whisky from Taiwan, matured entirely in a selected Manzanilla sherry cask. Manzanilla is a dry style of sherry, the character of which imparts a distinctive blend of fruity, sweet and salty notes to the whisky. The intensive maturation in Taiwan’s warm climate fosters a particularly pronounced exchange between the distillate and the oak. As part of the renowned Kavalan SOLIST range, this bottling is presented as a single cask and at cask strength, with an alcohol content of 58.6 per cent. It is not chill-filtered and retains its natural colour, ensuring that the individual character of the single cask remains as unadulterated as possible.


Since its foundation in Taiwan, the Kavalan Distillery has made a name for itself internationally for its intensely cask-influenced single malts. The Kavalan SOLIST Manzanilla Sherry Cask reached a significant milestone at the 2016 World Whiskies Awards, where a corresponding bottling was honoured as the World’s Best Single Cask Single Malt Whisky. A characteristic feature of this Manzanilla cask maturation is the interplay between sweet and salty-tart nuances, with the intense fruitiness particularly coming to the fore. The combination of Manzanilla sherry casks, single cask bottling, cask strength, natural colour and the absence of chill filtration makes this Kavalan a particularly expressive bottling. The 0.7-litre bottle is presented in a high-quality wooden box.

It pairs well with roasted almonds, mature hard cheese, dark chocolate or dried fruit.
