Kavalan Pedro Ximenez Solist Cask #032A (2010) 56.3%

In ancient times, the land around Yilan was called Kavalan, a mysterious land that was solely inhabited by the indigenous people of the Kavalan clan. The name was officially recognised by the Emperor of the Chin dynasty in the year 1809 when the original city was also built under the same name.

Kavalan had always been kept primitive and protected from the outside world by Syue-shan mountain range which is abundant in high quality natural water that comes from deep within the mountain range. The mists of Kavalan and the spirits of the past have been created for you in this exquisite whisky.

tasting notes:
Nose: There is a nice rosemary with a hint of lemongrass, sweet citrus and a pleasant toffee. The finale is reminiscent of an enticing sweet oakiness.

Palate: Very fruity and warm, with nice results of the combination of classical PX sherry cask characters and sub-tropical maturation in the heat of Taiwan i.e. smooth and mellow. The juicy raisin and honey syrup lingers persistently in the mouth.
