Kavalan Solist Port Cask Strength is a single-malt from Taiwan’s Kavalan Distillery, drawn from a single Port wine cask and bottled at cask strength. As part of the Solist lineup, it delivers the bold, unadjusted flavor of a high-proof, single-cask whisky with pronounced Port influence: ripe red fruits, vanilla sweetness, and spice, wrapped in a lush, full-bodied mouthfeel. A robust choice for fans of fortified-wine character and intense oak.
