Nose

It takes a little time to get going but there’s a lovely balance between gentle, fruity spirit and vanilla spice from the cask.

Palate

Creamy and light, it’s all stewed apples and raisins with vanilla ice cream, coconut and the gentlest oak spice. For all its delicacy this could easily be a grain whisky.

Finish

Mr. Whippy ice cream, in a cone, no flake, but with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Comment

Soft, creamy and just all-round delicious. Kavalan is showing up exceptionally well in ex-Bourbon casks.
