Kavalan's small stills (12,000 litres for the wash stills and 7,000 litres for the spirit stills) produce a rich, unctuous and complex new make spirit. In LMDW 2018 and 2019 Creation Catalogues, discovered two Kavalans in which malted barley and rum battled to reach the summit. This year, its a completely new adventure of flavours and aromas. This absolutely incredible version clearly brings to mind a major single malt from the north of Scotland, and, more specifically, Clynelish in its most accomplished expressions. Very pure, it flouts all constraints and influences in order to forge a unique, extremely complex, nuanced, lively and fresh personality.
Profile: the refreshing first nose is exotic (banana), milky (sweet almond) and spicy (ginger). Allowed to breathe, it reveals notes of citrus fruit, perfumed plants (sage) and vanilla. The aromatic palette is like a Scottish single malt from the Northern Highlands. The dynamic attack continues the salty, fruity and milky character of the nose. The mid-palate is intensely spicy (nutmeg, curry) before becoming more exotic (pineapple). The delicate start of the finish is characterized by notes of salted butter caramel and beeswax. At the end of the finish, malted barley decides to take centre-stage.
