Kavalan Solist Oloroso Sherry Single Cask Strength

Requires water to unlock the flavours. Rich flavours, but not well balanced. Has a distinct dry fish taste. 3.25/5

The most game changing pour I’ve ever been lucky enough to enjoy.

Tried at Margaret’s and the taste was not as off putting. It could be that the previous two batch was older. But any case I give it 2.75 for the better flavour KAVALAN SOLIST OLOROSO SHERRY SINGLE CASK STRENGTH -2ND TRY- WHISKY COLOR IS AMAZING, A GOOD CENTER-PIECE FOR A BAR, TRULY. DRIED RAISINS AND A STRONG CHEMICAL RAISIN SMELL, BUT YOU DEFINITELY GET HIT WITH RED FRUITS BUT EXCEEDINGLY STRONG WITH A STRONG METALLIC PRESENCE. MILD SWEETNESS. REMINDS ME A LOT LIKE THE BUBBLE BALLOONS THAT YOU BLOW WITH THOSE SHORT LITTLE STICKS WHEN YOU PLAYED AS A KID - GLUEY 2.5 CREAMY, MALTY, CHOCOLATE, BIG HIT OF BITTERNESS FEELS LIKE THE SHERRY CASK HAD A HUGE HUGE INFLUENCE ON IT TO THE POINT OF TANNINS, THE AFTER EFFECT OF THE BITTERNESS IS QUITE OFF-PUTTING FOR ME, ITS A RESIDUAL TASTE THAT DOESN'T GET WASHED AWAY AND KILLS THE ENJOYMENT OF A FINE WHISKY, ARTIFICIAL SUGARY TASTE 0.25 OAKY, AND SUSTAINED BITTERNESS 0.25 1 KAVALAN SOLIST OLOROSSO SHERRY CASK 57.1% IMmense darkness in the color, incredible sherry casking over here. Never seen a darker one before. Cherry, raisins is most distinct, raspberries, cranberry, mild to mid pepper 3 Full bodied and very rich in Cherry, sweetness, raisin, very sweet like almost a kind of wine, at the back you will get a hit of oaky with slight bitterness and dark chocolate, quite a flat oakiness and it taste a little like a cherry sweet (not a good thing for me) 2 oaky, long-mid sustainance 1 Overall, a very interesting taste since this deviates FAR from whisky, like a dessert wine instead. 2 (its A GOOD ADDITION TO THE BAR FOR VARIETY OF TASTEBUDS, BUT I WONT PERSONALLY BUY IT FOR MYSELF)
