Whisky review : Kavalan Solist Sherry Cask - Cask Strength, bottled @ 57%

-3rd Kavalan
-Natural colour

Colour: Very dark-red copperish, medium port red, medium bodied, long legs.

Mouth: very hot tannin, brandy style raisin, wood polish, metallic notes, very intense cloud of light Sherry, old grapes, touches of youg VSOP Cognac, leather, exotic dried fruits, fresh vanilla sticks, very complex nose yet not a regular Sherried nose.

Mouth: Light regardless of the 57%, dense fruits, cognac tannin, chemical marker, hot thick macerated grapes, light sherry spices. Water emphasises light grapes, very juicy, much interesting after tasting the previous 2. I can say this whisky can rather take a large a mount of water without drowning. After more water, it remains thick but more on tannin and grapes, hints of wood.

Finish: light Sherry, spices, creamy, touches of coconut, sticky Sherry, peach

A- for the taste. A very nice Whisky indeed. Different style of Sherry than we are used to.
C for the price. Priced at 117$, it's way too high. A good price would be more around a 65ish dollars would be more like it.
A- for presentation. I like the nice tubing. So so for the bottle but the packaging...simple and nice.
