Bottled to mark King Car Group's 45th Anniversary, this Kavalan was fully matured in a Palo Cortado sherry cask before bottling at 54% in a magnum decanter.
Producer Description
"To celebrate an extraordinary milestone, Kavalan presents the 45th Anniversary Release — a whisky that captures the pinnacle of rarity, craftsmanship, and sherry cask mastery.
"Matured exclusively in an exceptional Palo Cortado sherry cask sourced from Spain’s legendary Sherry Triangle, this release embodies both mystery and elegance. Palo Cortado is among the rarest sherry styles, celebrated for its unique dual aging process — beginning with biological aging, then transitioning into oxidative aging. This intricate evolution gives the whisky an extraordinary depth and balance."

Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Rich and intricate, with aromas of cocoa powder and citrus bursting forth, followed by the sweet scents of matured dried fruits, pastries, and toffee. Full-bodied and smooth in texture, intertwining layers of nutty flavours, a hint of vanilla fruitcake and fragrant cardamom emerging, leading to a pure and elegant finish.
Palate: The taste evokes the flavour of an orange pound cake with rich dried fruits enveloping the palate. Raisins meld with vanilla and toasted biscuit aroma, while caramel toffee accents are dotted with crushed walnut pieces, a rich, multi-layered finish that lingers on the palate.
