‘One’ Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique Single Cask (Exclusive)

Beautiful, Complex Whisky

Vinho is fully matured in used American oak wine barrels that have been toasted and recharred in a way that brings out fruity vanilla notes from the whisky and wood overlaid on a delicate background of complex fruitiness. The casks are carefully shaved inside then gently toasted. This converts wine residues into a complex mixture of fruit flavours including sweet prune and berries. After toasting, the casks are charred for a short period of time to release flavours, such as dark chocolate and caramelised sugars. The result is a more complex whisky than is possible with casks alone.

Celebrated for its predominant berry, plum and caramelised sugar notes, the range continues to receive awards at international competitions including a Gold medal score of 91 out of 100 at the Los Angeles Wine & Spirits Competition.

Nose:
The nose is powerful, bringing tropical fruits, thick syrup, and a touch of vanilla to the forefront. The fruit notes intensify after several minutes.

Palate:
The first sip showcases the sweetness from the nose, and pairs it with brown sugar, a touch of cinnamon, and some cocoa. The fruits comes through again with sweet mango, melon, pineapple, and some kiwi. A touch of water releases more fruits.

Finish:
The fruits lead the long, rich finish, especially the melon and mango, as some warm spice and sugary syrup linger in the background.
