  • Kavalan unsurprisingly continues to be more about the finish than the base spirits. That said, it's good stuff in this particular release.

  • Nose:

    Stewed fruits, apples, pears, honey and leather. Some nice tobacco. Sweet and rich but ultimately, super fruity.

  • Taste:

    Medium mouth feel, mild heat. Sweet, lots of tobacco. Prominent apple, honey, caramel, pear, pepper and butter cream. Some fruity funk.

  • Finish:

    Medium length, some sulfur. No heat here. Really apple focused. I cant shake the feeling that this might be a well aged calvados or apple based spirit.

  • Overall:

    Kavalan unsurprisingly continues to be more about the finish than the base spirits. That said, it's good stuff in this particular release.
