2015 World Whiskies Awards – World’s Best Single Malt Whisky

Vinho Is Fully Matured In Used American Oak Wine Barrels That Have Been Toasted And Recharred In A Way That Brings Out Fruity Vanilla Notes From The Whisky And Wood Overlaid On A Delicate Background Of Complex Fruitiness. The Casks Have (Deliberately) Been Used To Mature Both Red And White Wines Which Eventually Will Contribute The Background Complex Fruitiness To Kavalan Solist Vinhos. It Is Complex And Multi Dimensional Background Of Pepper, Spice, Dates And Other Fruits, Such As Ripe Melon And Mango Together With Kiwi And A Delicate Blend Of Citrus Fruits Burst.

The Kavalan Flag Is Unfurling Fast. The Whiskies Are Making It Stateside, And They’re Improving From A Very High Base. A Couple Of Degrees Stronger Than Previously, This Is Far Richer Than Any Wine Cask-Matured Whisky Has A Right To Be. This Is Huge, With A Tropical Nose Of Mango, Melon, And Papaya, And A Hint Of Dustiness. The Palate Is Astounding. Rich, Sweet, And Rounded, It Coats The Mouth With An Intense Mixture Tempered By Burnt Toffee And Cocoa.
