Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Warm rose-gold with copper-pink highlights; French wine cask gives elegant blush colour
Nose
Elegant wine and fruit — blackberry, cherry, vanilla, toffee, gentle oak. French wine cask is more restrained than vinho barrique. Floral, gentle spice, dark chocolate. Artistic and refined
Palate
Medium body. Elegant — blackberry, cherry, vanilla, toffee, gentle wine tannins. French wine adds structure without overwhelming. Dark chocolate, gentle spice, tropical fruit beneath. More restrained and food-friendly than Solist wine expressions
Finish
Medium finish. Berry fruit, wine, vanilla, gentle tannins. Clean and elegant. Art-labelled bottles also serve as collectibles — Kavalan's cultural bridge between whisky and Taiwanese art
