Port is a Portuguese fortified wine that is robust and sweet with a fuller and richer body. It is therefore usually served as a dessert wine or digestif. Kavalan Solist Port Cask is fully matured in Portuguese Port barriques under the subtropical climate to create the multiple fruity flavours such as plum, blueberry, blackberry and strawberry just to name a few, with chocolate as the main background note.
A big, bold and complex Port cask influenced single malt from this multi award winning distillery, this is not shy in the flavour department and this is another stunning addition to the Solist range of single cask releases.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Dark burnished amber with copper-bronze hues and ruby-garnet glints.
Nose
Pink grapefruit and tinned strawberries mingle with aged balsamic, cranberry sauce and red cherry jam. Deep polished oak frames a core of stewed black plums, with charred tangerine rind and pink wafers.
Palate
Bold and spicy on the palate, it unfolds stewed red and black fruits with a grape-skin dry grip and firm tannins. Brambly redcurrants, mulled spices, pomegranate, and port-soaked orange sit mid-palate, finishing with peppery strawberry and clove.
Finish
Grapey, red cherry and more spiced berries, toasted vanilla and pink wafers, pomegranate juice, crunchy cranberry and a lingering dusting of rose turkish delight fizzy spice.
