- Description
- Kavalan's Distillery Reserve single malt, aged in rum cask and bottled at 57.8% ABV in a 30cl format, represents Taiwan's approach to tropical spirit maturation at elevated strength. The rum cask imparts Caribbean-influenced vanilla, coconut, and dark fruit character atop Kavalan's baseline orchard fruit and floral notes, with the proof preserving texture and spice detail. A compact expression suited to sampling this unconventional cask influence.
