Kavalan Solist Amontillado Sherry Single Cask 70cl
€460.00 inc. VAT
Kavalan Amontillado Sherry is matured and aged in Amontillado Sherry casks, which provide a unique combination of both dry and nutty characteristics. Bottled at cask strength, this whisky offers a rich and complex flavour profile.
Matured in Amontillado cask, it expresses sweet and exotics notes of dried fruits dominated by chestnut.
The whisky is intense and aromatic on the nose, with notes of dried figs, raisins, and caramel. Layers of toasted almonds (or chestnuts), dark chocolate, and a hint of spice add complexity and depth. A full-bodied whisky which is robust on the palate, with rich flavours of toffee. It expresses sweet and exotics dried fruits, and roasted nuts. The Amontillado Sherry adds a distinctive dryness, balanced by a sweet, creamy texture. The finish is long, with lingering notes of oak, spice, and a subtle nuttiness.
Kavalan Amontillado Cask was rewarded World Best Single Cask and Single Malt at the World Whiskies Awards 2016 and also a Platinum runner-up to Kavalan Solist Fino Sherry Single Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky, in the The Beverage Testing Institute 2024. The other runner up was the Kavalan Solist Manzanilla Sherry, which we also have online.

Description
Our experts wrote : An aroma of vanilla barley, with peanut brittle and dried apricot. Subtle white chocolate notes develop at the end. A palate of coffee bean spiciness, leading into rich toffee, treacle and toasted oak. Peppercorn and Sherry-soaked cherries to finish.
The BTI Judging Panel described the Kavalan Amontillado Sherry expression as featuring: Aromas of spiced Marcona almonds, Amontillado, and chestnuts. The palate features flavors of spiced walnuts, pecan, and jamon. This just smells like a cask of Amontillado distilled down; perhaps polarizing but so tasty and makes one crave some Jamon Iberico and almonds.
