Kavalan Sherry Oak Single Malt

As mentioned by others, a seemingly good whisky on the nose (with very heavy Sherry influence) is completely let down by the finish. The harshness of the finish suggests this is a very young whisky that could have done with more time in a non-sherry cask. A disappointment considering the price.

Very dark. Too strong and sherry forward. Put on ice it mellowed down nicely.
