Kavalan Peatist Ex-Bourbon Cask Single Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky

Step into the intensity of Kavalan Solist Ex‑Bourbon Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky—a high‑power dram from Taiwan’s Yilan county. This single-cask masterpiece matures in hand-selected American ex-bourbon barrels and is bottled full strength, non-chill-filtered, preserving its raw character.

\Spend just a few short years in Taiwan’s subtropical humidity, and the result is incredible richness and layered maturity despite a youthful age of roughly three to six years.

Bottled at 114.2 proof, it radiates a pale gold hue and delivers unmatched complexity in a compact cask release.

Nose: A wisp of peat opens, revealing layers of mango, banana, and fragrant longan. Coconut cream sweetness follows, infused with vanilla and honey for an inviting bouquet.

Palate: Smooth and elegantly mature. Velvety vanilla butter cake meets sweet tropical fruit, while warm oak and coconut achieve perfect balance. Silky vanilla custard lingers, enhancing the whisky’s smoky peat. A long finish leaves a lasting impression.

Pair with coconut‑flavored desserts or banana caramel tarts to echo its tropical fruit sweetness.
Enjoy alongside honey-glazed nuts or almond biscotti to highlight vanilla and honeyed almond layers.
Serve with mild hard cheeses like gouda to balance oak spice and fruit intensity.
