{"product_id":"kavalan-oloroso-sherry-oak-single-malt-whisky-750ml","title":"Kavalan Oloroso Sherry Oak Single Malt Whisky 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eKavalan Sherry Oak is a Taiwanese single malt matured exclusively in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks and bottled at 46% ABV. It is a 92-proof version of the rare cask-strength Kavalan Solist Sherry, using the same casks, brought down to strength with Kavalan's spring water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKavalan, in Yilan County in north-eastern Taiwan, has become one of the most awarded whisky makers in the world. Taiwan's warm, humid climate accelerates maturation, and the Oloroso casks bring deep fruit and colour to the spirit in a fraction of the time it would take in Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose brings dried apricot with subtle spice, along with raisins, fig and cocoa. On the palate come multiple layers of dried fruit, nuttiness and spice, with marzipan, vanilla, toffee and dark chocolate, sweet and oily, and the finish is elegant and long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tall bottle with its deep red label makes it a fine gift for sherried-whisky lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnjoy it neat or with a drop of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOloroso is a rich, nutty style of sherry from Jerez, aged oxidatively in the bodega, and the casks that held it give whisky dried fruit, spice and a deep mahogany colour. Kavalan's distillery sits between the mountains and the Pacific, drawing pure spring water from the Snow Mountain range, and its whiskies have collected top honours at international competitions since the distillery opened in 2005.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaiwan's subtropical heat means each year in the cask counts for far more than in Scotland, with a much larger share evaporating as the angels' share, so the whisky gains depth and intensity at a remarkable pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dried apricot, raisin, fig and subtle spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dried fruit, nuts, spice, marzipan, vanilla and dark chocolate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elegant and long.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kavalan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taiwanese Single Malt Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sherry Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 proof (46% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spanish Oloroso sherry casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yilan, Taiwan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat or with a drop of water.
