Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Deep ruby-amber with mahogany highlights; the richest colour in Kavalan's range from premium multi-cask marriage
- Nose
- The pinnacle — tropical fruit, dried fruit, wine character, dark chocolate, leather, vanilla, toffee. Every Kavalan flavour theme present and harmonised. Rose, clove, aged oak, honey. Master blender Ian Chang's ultimate statement
- Palate
- Full body. Extraordinary complexity — mango, blackberry, dried fig, dark chocolate, vanilla cream, toffee, wine tannins, leather. Every cask type contributes its best. Aged oak, honey, clove, coconut. Seamless integration — the Kavalan experience distilled into one expression
- Finish
- Very long finish. Layer after layer — fruit, wine, chocolate, spice, leather, oak. Each sip reveals something new. A collector's whisky and monument to King Car Group's 40-year legacy
