Kavalan Solist Peated Australian Exclusive Cask Strength Single Malt Taiwanese Whisky (700ml)

A limited edition Solist exclusive to Australia. Only 144 bottles were produced from single cask R150414033A, however, there is a sister cask (032A) that was imported with the same claim to fame. Regardless of which was actually first, this represents the first-ever Kavalan Solist Peated Single Malt to be officially launched here. The combination of peated barley at a low 10PPM means the tropical notes of Kavalan aren't completely overwhelmed, instead the smoke augments what is a typically full-flavoured Solist expression, loaded with vibrant spices and finishing with a touch of fruit cake. It's not as complex or long as many an Islay, but if you enjoy Highlanders like Ardmore or young (peated) Benriach, you should like this. 52.4% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
