TASTING NOTES - KAVALAN EX-BOURBON OAK

Nose

Intense and rich, with decadent and oxidized fruit, moving from yellow to tropical at times (apple, pear, guava, mango, coconut). The citric notes are present, yet very well managed, only providing a touch of freshness. Tons of high quality vanilla bean. Spices are sweet and mellow. Fruity, yet in a sophisticated way.

Palate

Here the alcohol is more evident, yet helpful to push the overall sensations. Spices, still sweet, and more on the frontline, with a white pepper kick and some cinnamon and macis. Later on the fruity character takes over, with baked apples, coconut chips and pineapple.

Finish

Medium-long, again good intensity and fruitiness.

Kavalan Ex-Bourbon Oak is a very balanced whisky, adding tropical, oxidized fruit at the nose and an interesting sweet spices kick on the palate. A very interesting option to start the journey into tropical whiskeys.
