Kavalan Peatist - Bourbon Barrel #B181123016C - Collection Anthology

Special features: Kavalan Peatist Bourbon Barrel #B181123016C is an 8-year-old single malt whisky from Taiwan, bottled at cask strength with 54% vol. from the Kavalan Distillery. The whisky matured in an American ex-bourbon cask and is presented in a gift packaging. The bottling offers smoky notes supported by the quality of the maturation process.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The rich, expansive aroma is characterized by peat notes that exhibit smoky, ashy, and root-like accents. These are accompanied by candied citrus fruits and white fruits like pear and plum, while aromas of coconut milk, fresh walnut, white mint, and wildflowers gradually join in.
• Palate: The taste is full-bodied and concentrated, with light, mineral peat notes that emphasize the rustic and herbal character. These flavors become drier and crumbly, complemented by lemony, resinous, and gently spiced notes of ginger and clove.
• Finish: The finish is bright and lush, tinged with exotic fruits like pineapple and banana. At the same time, it shows milky notes of almond and coconut as well as honey-sweet aromas of acacia honey and floral nuances of iris and lily. The finish expressively presents the spectacle of freshly cut peat blocks drying under radiant sun.
