Hello. I will release a Spoiler of this whisky review: this might be one of the best sherried whiskies i have ever had.
Kavalan Solist Sherry Cask has made a name of its own, winning many awards for this single cask releases. It has the most dark reddish color ever, it is mahogany. Bottled at 58.7%abv, fasten your safety belts, a wonderful sherry bomb is about to explode.
On the nose, right from the first second you know this is going to be epic. Maraschino Cherries dipped in Dr. Pepper soda, wraped im sweet figs. Dates, figs and coffee. It is like the most amazing aroma ever. Cocoa, chocolate and oranges.
On the palate it is heaven. Chocolate, cherries, red fruits. A little sulphuric, acid prunes and tobacco.
Aftertaste is out of this world. Plums and super winey red fruits. Sulphuric and something that i can only describe as a metallic madness. Chewing tobacco.
Overall, insert the "perfection" internet meme here. This is so memorable that my only regret is that i own only a 20cl bottle and i already drank half of it. Kavalan is absolutely marvelous and if you have the chance to taste it, do it. My score for it, as you might already guessed it, is 100 over 100.
