It features concentrated flavors that deliver a well-executed Oloroso character. It reminds me of the Amrut Single cask I reviewed a few weeks ago, but with less of the Amrut’s earthy and rancio notes. The Amrut can feel a bit muddy at times while this Kalavan feels like a cleaner interpretation of Oloroso influence. A bit of water opens up the nose but softens the palate, reducing the heat and spice but doesn’t destroy the pour. So if this Kalavan turns up the heat a bit too much for you, inviting a splash of water could be the best course of action. Overall, this Kavalan Oloroso single cask is a delicious, beautiful, complex, and distinctive whisky, one that I can’t quite get enough of.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Chris Ellis, The Whisky Study (95 Points)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis is pretty exemplary when it comes to Kavalan or quality sherry in general. A tad rough and robust perhaps, but an absolutely faultless sherry bomb. They’ve really perfected this style at Kavalan. This reminds me I should try some other sherry styles from Kavalan (Amontillado and Manzanilla), let me track them down for a follow-up tasting.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Ruben, Whisky Notes (89 Points)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kavalan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48454223528151,"sku":"KAVALAN-SOLOIST-OLOROSO-SHERRY-1L","price":254.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0246\/9753\/6596\/files\/tds-kavalan-soloist-sherry-1l.jpg?v=1775483895","url":"https:\/\/thedrinksociety.co.nz\/products\/kavalan-solist-oloroso-sherry-cask-strength-single-malt-taiwanese-whisky-1l","provider":"The Drink Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
