In 2016, following major expansion work, Kavalan joined the very closed circle of the ten largest distilleries in the world. Equipped with five mash tuns, forty stainless steel washbacks where fermentation lasts between 60 and 72 hours, ten wash stills and ten spirit stills with a respective capacity of 12,000 litres and 7,000 litres, the distillery has an annual production capacity of 9 million litres of pure alcohol. Seeped in the noble flavours and aromas imparted through its port cask maturation, this version has carefully preserved a beautiful malt backbone throughout the entire tasting.

Nose : Fleshy, rich. Aromas of raisin, apricot jam, quince jelly and rose petal highlight the port’s noble influence on the nose. The aroma palette then moves more into malt, pepper, precious woods (sandalwood, oak stave) and empyreumatic notes of brandied cherries.

Appearance : acajou

Palate : Svelte, lively. After a tangy start (lemon), the flavour palette reveals latte coffee, praline and nuts (walnut, date). These creamy notes gradually make way for black fruits (cherry, blueberry) and tropical notes (mango, persimmon). More tertiary notes then develop (porcini mushroom, lichen).

Overall : Balanced, creamy. Zan liquorice sweets, fresh ginger, cumin and salted butter caramel set the tone for the deliciously rich finish. With time, grains of malted barley flood the palate. The dried extracts from the empty glass reveal a stunning balsamic freshness, infused notes of tea and milk, and spicy cardamom.
