Adding to the two vast concrete warehouses already in its possession, in September 2022 the Kavalan distillery opened a third warehouse equipped with a special ventilation system that significantly reduces the angels’ share. Spanning a larger surface area than the first two warehouses put together, each of which is five floors high, the new warehouse rises to an impressive seven floors. This remarkably concentrated and powerful bottling repeatedly brings to mind a great white Burgundy wine in its peak. The flavour and aroma palette offers an outstanding and noble expression of abundant fruit, balsamic notes, saffron and stunning notes of frangipane.

Nose : Full, refined. Notes of bourbon vanilla, fine spices (saffron, nutmeg), almond paste and juicy fruits (pear, apple) seize hold of the complex first nose. Allowed to breathe, increasingly tropical tones (banana, pineapple), balsamic notes of cedar and pine, and candied fruits (lemon) are revealed. The spices form a solid foundation.

Appearance : topaze

Palate : Noble, invigorating. Beautiful flavours of malt, florals (iris butter) and honey (lime blossom) add nuance to the dense and concentrated flavour palette. With time, lucerne, chlorophyll and juicy fruits (peach, apricot) bring refreshment.

Overall : Long, full. With a fine, grainy texture (rice powder), the finish is absolutely delicious. Subtly combining vanilla and cocoa, it gradually takes on a more powdered character. Making a triumphant return, lots of different spices (ginger, saffron, clove, cinnamon) then bring great nobility to the mouth-watering and fruity (grapefruit) retro-nasal olfaction.
