Kavalan ex-Bourbon Oak Single Malt Whisky is a brilliantly complex and smooth expression, showcasing the perfect marriage of American oak and subtropical maturation. Diluted to 46% ABV with pure Snow Mountain spring water, this non-chill filtered single malt retains its full, natural oils and intense aromatic profile. It delivers a beautifully balanced, clean, and highly vibrant character that offers a softer, highly approachable alternative to the cask-strength Solist series.
🌟 Why You’ll Love It
Premium ex-Bourbon Casks: Matured exclusively in hand-selected, American ex-bourbon casks that impart deep vanilla and wood spice characteristics.
Non-Chill Filtered: Bottled without chill filtration to ensure the full body, rich texture, and natural amber color are preserved.
Exceptional Purity: Crafted in Yilan, Taiwan, utilizing the incredibly clean, soft meltwater of the nearby Snow Mountain range.
🥃 Tasting Notes
Nose: Clean and fresh. Opens with a rich wave of tropical fruits, sweet vanilla, coconut, and honey, accompanied by a subtle undercurrent of soft floral notes and fresh wood spice.
Palate: Exceptionally smooth and well-rounded. A silky texture reveals layers of sweet marzipan, vanilla cream, and fresh coconut, balanced perfectly by a lively pop of citrus peel and warming oak spice.
Finish: Clean, medium-long, and refreshing, leaving a lingering warmth of buttery vanilla and soft cinnamon.
