About this bottle

Kavalan’s Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique (57.8%) is a world whisky from Taiwan in our whiskey range. It is bottled at 57.8% ABV, in a 700 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: Very much a product of the casks - sticky berry fruit, black liquorice, tannic red wine, tart dried cherries, dried apricots and sweet marzipan. Hiding behind the rich, winey notes are the traditional sweet and fruity Kavalan notes - mango and honey; on the palate: It’s all about the cask again, with sherry fruit sweetness joined by liquorice, raisins and sweet red grape juice. As the whisky develops in the glass, it picks up more spicy notes - soft nutmeg and sharp clove; finish: Lots of fruit - raisins, grape juice and tannic grape skin, slowly fading to a spicy cinnamon-tinged finish.

Whisky club

Cask strength, labelled as such.

“ABV and proof on the card, so I knew I was buying 58 percent and could plan the water. Big, oily, brilliant. Exactly what Spirit Hives said it was.”
Neil D.Cask-strength bourbon
A treat

Japanese whisky I could actually pay for.

“I lined up three blends, saw the sizes and the prices, and picked the 700 ml I could afford. Spirit Hives did not hide the cost. No regrets.”
Ken A.Japanese blended whisky
Wishlist haul

Saved three, bought three.

“A month of adding bottles to the Spirit Hives wishlist, then I checked out the three I kept opening. Sherried Speyside, a rye, a Rioja. All three matched the page.”
Matej N.Three bottles
Rare find

The bottle my town does not stock.

“Spirit Hives had the small-batch bourbon I had only ever seen on holiday. I ordered it on a Tuesday and it was on the table for Sunday. That is why I came back.”
Marcus T.Small-batch bourbon
