The Kavalan SOLIST Manzanilla Sherry Cask is an exceptional single malt whisky from Taiwan, matured entirely in a selected Manzanilla sherry cask. Manzanilla is a dry style of sherry, the character of which imparts a unique blend of fruity, sweet and salty notes to the whisky. The intensive maturation in Taiwan’s warm climate facilitates a particularly pronounced exchange between the distillate and the oak. As part of the renowned Kavalan SOLIST range, this bottling is presented as a single cask and at cask strength, with an alcohol content of 58.6 per cent. It is not chill-filtered and retains its natural colour, ensuring that the individual character of the single cask remains as unadulterated as possible.


Since its foundation in Taiwan, the Kavalan Distillery has made a name for itself internationally for its intensely cask-influenced single malts. The Kavalan SOLIST Manzanilla Sherry Cask achieved a special milestone at the 2016 World Whiskies Awards, where a corresponding bottling was honoured as the World’s Best Single Cask Single Malt Whisky. A characteristic feature of this Manzanilla cask maturation is the interplay between sweet and salty-tart nuances, with the intense fruitiness particularly coming to the fore. The combination of a Manzanilla sherry cask, single cask bottling, cask strength, natural colour and the absence of chill filtration makes this Kavalan a particularly expressive bottling. The 0.7-litre bottle is presented in a high-quality wooden box.
