A delightful peated whisky from Taiwanese distillery Kavalan, from its celebrated Solist range.

This single cask single malt has been made using peated malt - an unusual step from this subtropical distillery. The peat is applied elegantly here, producing a gently peated dram where the smoke provides a complimentary touch, rather than overwhelming the flavour profile.

The end result is a whisky that serves up typical Kavalan notes of rich tropical fruits (pineapple, mango and peach), vanilla, gentle peat smoke, dried fruits, oily malt, brazil nuts, dark chocolate, redcurrants, cinnamon, black pepper, toffee and beeswax-polished oak.

Rather like a peated Highland Scotch whisky in character, this is another well made Kavalan dram.

Presented at a lower cask strength of 54% ABV, the spirit is warm without being fearsomely hot, and medium bodied.

Only 161 bottles were produced.
