About the Whisky:
Kavalan Ex-Bourbon Cask is aged in ex-bourbon casks that are made of quercus alba American white oak. This species of oak yields fragrant and delicate wood spiciness and vanilla notes influenced by the area's unique local weather conditions.
Tasting Notes:
Color: Pale Golden
Nose: Clean with fresh tropical fruitiness and pleasant vanilla, coconut and spices. Imagine being soothed by that comfortable sea breeze with a calming and refreshing effect. This malt can do that for you after a hectic day at the office.
Palate: Soft, well-balanced natural sweetness, vanilla and oak spices, round and complex with silky smoothness.
Tasting: Kavalan ex-Bourbon Oak complements seafood or lighter and freshly made dishes.

"Packed full of orchard fruit aromas and flavours with interwoven notes of maple syrup, honey and orange zest. A dusting of black pepper provides a spicy, warming finish."
93 Points - Whisky Advocate
"Surprise, surprise. This is like the school's best pitcher, who then steps onto the football team and throws for a game-winning touchdown. This is a whole new side to Kavalan. Having out-sherried and out-bourboned us with kickass rock-n-roll whisky, Kavalan goes for gentle and croony, with vanilla and honey. The coup de grace? Apple pie and cream morph into licorice and menthol. Exquisite."
