Kavalan Selection, Brandy Cask Matured, bottled for LMDW

Kavalan cask strength whiskies are just spectacular. If yoi have the chance to grab any of them, just do it. They have been sourcing incredible barrels for their spirits, which are a little pricey for NAS expressions, but they are totally worth it. This Kavalan Selection Brandy Cask Matured, bottled for La Maison Du Whisky, is one of 370 unique bottles, and they have a strength of 59.4%abv for extra flavor, yummy. On the nose, it is sublime. Stewed apples as soon as you uncork it. Some serious peach marmalade. Impalpable sugar. It is like stewed tropical fruits. Red fruitiness have appeared after a few seconds. Hazelnut, tiramisú dessert. There is definitively a thick honey here. Fresh pineapples, Cocoa. Cough syrup. It screams brandy everywhere. Beatiful nose. A black coffee cup with 3 spoons of sugar, that is the exact note here. I could nose this all day. On the palate, wonderful citric flavors. Tangerine, salt. There is hay, it has become grassy, but still citric. Pineapple, peaches. Very elegant. Definitively a hot honey note. A little too powerful. Aftertaste is divine. Tobacco, super citric and acid tangerines. There is a hint of smoke. Very fancy, oily finish. It is delicious, it is like a sugar bomb mixed with some pepper. Oh man, i love this aftertaste, even if the main flavors don't stick around for too long, it is like a sweet candle smoke in your throat. Pretty neat stuff. NOTE: It is so oily, there is one sip left only because of its viscosity, it never gets to your mouth, it sticks on the glencairn. Overall, this was another amazing single malt by Kavalan. I have had a few from them, and all were exceptional. This is no different, the brandy notes are here, the stewed fruits, the marmalade, the citric acidity, it is very complex and delicious. An enjoyable whisky for more experienced enthusiasts, since its power can be a little overwhelming, and that is where it lost most of the points i deducted. My final score for this marvelous "juice", is 92 over 100.
