ABV: 57.1%

The soft pink presentation of this new Kavalan must be designed to attract curiosity. Launched in late 2020, the whisky was matured in barrels that previously contained sweet wine from the Portuguese island of Madeira. As of November 2020, bottles were already hitting the secondary market! 57.1%, but the ABV may vary from batch to batch. According to Kavalan, cinnamon spice and cherry aromas and flavours characterise this whisky. Non chill filtered.

Other reviews... Amber color. Aromas of ripe banana, marzipan, pistachio gelato, vanilla bean, and pecan praline with a satiny, vibrant, dryish medium-full body and a warming, subtle, very long fruit leather, caramel latte, sarsaparilla, and roasted fennel with honey vinaigrette finish. A decadent, somewhat meandering Single Malt Whisky that hits each hedonic stop on the flavor train.
