#calvados amber color pronounced aromas of bruised apples, apple tart, plum and pear jam and apricot jam. On the palate smooth as a baby’s butt and hints of toast and coconut. — 5 years ago

@Todd Abrams I was feeling frisky so I opened this guy up. I guess I was expecting something like a lemonhead candy. Surprise. There is lemon there more like a lemon edge followed by something nutty. Maybe almonds. That's what I usually get with all of these palate cleansers. Very enjoyable. Thanks dude!! — 8 years ago

This wine is me, sitting alone and unobtrusively in the middle of a savanna on a breezy day, surrounded by grazing bison. Grassy, sunny, slightly salty, and delicious. For an introverted nature lover, best feeling ever. Got this at Wine Sense. — 9 years ago

Whisky !

- Kavalan Solist Vinho barrique. 59.4%
Single Malt. Taïwan.
Matured in White and Red wine oak.
Distilled in mars 2010. Bottled july 2015.
212 bottles in the world.
Single Cask. Cask Strenght.

Taïwan is an isle south Est of China.
Kavalan is in the North. Hot and wet climate.
The Angels'share is more important : 10% each year. Scotland : 1% each year.
And the maturation is faster. For exemple, a 7 years old Kavalan Whisky will look like to a 18+ years old Scotch. Impressive.

Best Single malt and best of the best for the 2015 world whiskys ?

The fact ???
Lets try it !!

The color is impressive. Dark brown. Beautiful.

Just 2 cl in the glass and ... explosion !
Old cedar, pine wood, nuts, fresh vanilla, passion fruit, mango and coconut, red fruits to !!. Original.
Love it !

59.4% alcool.... strong, but fatty, so easy to drink. Red fruits, cherry, pine wood, exotics fruits : mango and passion fruit.
Nice balance, you can feel a little sweet sensation.
The finish : cassis, dark chocolate and leather.
Long, very long.

An impressive whisky with high density and good complexity. Best whisky in the world??? That's totaly subjective. For me ? No, but one of the best i ever tried !

Now, in France the price is around 250 euros. Dont know for other country.


☆ Kavalan Solist Vinho barrique. 59.4%
Cask Strength. Single Cask
Distillé en 2010. Édition 2015. 212 bouteilles pour le monde.
Taïwan.
Whisky élevé dans des fûts de vin blanc et rouge.

Taïwan est une île au Sud Est de la Chine.
La distillerie Kavalan se situe au Nord Est.
Climat chaud et humide.
La part des anges est de 10% par an, par comparaison, elle est de 1% en Écosse.
La maturité y est aussi plus rapide, un whisky de 7 ans est comparable en complexité à un whisky de plus de 18 ans en Écosse !

Alors !? Meilleur whisky du monde 2015 ?
Qu'en est-il ?

Après avoir juste versé 2 cl dans mon verre, le bouquet à littéralement envahi la pièce.
Vieux cèdre, sapin du sud-ouest, aiguilles de pin. La noix, gousse de vanille, Fruits rouges. Puis, très exotique, sur la mangue, le fruit de la passion et la noix de coco. On s'y perd ! Puissance aromatique énorme !

59.4% c'est beaucoup! Mais finalement quelle douceur, c'est gras.
Les arômes de cerice et de fruits rouges lancent le bal, le sapin, les fruits exotiques : mangue et fruits de la passion.
La finale s'étire très longuement sur le cassis cuit, le chocolat noir, le cuire et la banane flambée.

C'est très impressionnant !

Alors meilleur whisky du monde 2015 ??? C'est une question de goût ;, subjectif.
Pour moi, non, mais fait parti des meilleurs whiskys que j'ai pu déguster à ce jour.

Un grand whisky ! Comptez 250 euros en France....

À bientôt.

Aroma has nothing to do with when it hits the palate. Not very sweet. Perfect with cheese I would say. Even blue cheese — 7 years ago
