Kavalan Peatist Oloroso Sherry Cask Single Malt Whisky (700ml)
Kavalan Peatist Oloroso Sherry Cask is a monumental, award-winning expression, famously crowned "Whisky of the Year" at the prestigious International Whisky Competition (IWC). This elite single malt is distilled from premium peated malt barley and aged entirely in the finest Oloroso sherry casks from Spain's legendary Sherry Triangle. The result is a masterclass in balance, merging intense, earthy peat smoke with the rich, luxurious fruit profile of Oloroso wood. Bottled at natural single cask strength without chill filtration, it reveals an unadulterated "mahogany dusk" colour and an incredibly deep, complex character.

🥃 Tasting Notes
Nose: Bold and captivating. Oily leather, earthy tea leaves, and anise interweave with intense smoky peat. Underneath, a wave of sweetness emerges through grilled mango, charcoal-roasted plums, dark raisins, and figs.
Palate: Luxuriously full-bodied and textured. Crisp citrus and buttery toffee unfold into a heavy layer of dried pineapple, black dates, and candied plums. Delicate tannic notes of wood, warming cinnamon, and cloves enrich the peat.
Finish: Remarkably long and complex. It tapers off slowly with elegant notes of dark chocolate, roasted espresso beans, juicy cassis, and toasted nuts.
