Kavalan Sherry cask single barrel (Redstone Barrel Society)
We are excited to announce the arrival of our Redstone Barrel Society Kavalan Sherry cask. This whiskey aged exclusively in Oloroso Sherry casks for a 7 years and 6 months (off of bottle codes). However with the climate what it is in Taiwan the spirits extract the flavor from the oak at a faster rate meaning their whiskies impart an older taste that the actual age should suggest.
No artificial colors or flavorings are added to this barrel, that being said it pours a very dark ruby color reminiscent of say a cherry cola. At 114.2 proof its no slouch and boasts a robust and rich mouthfeel any heat from alcohol is masked with the sweet taste of of stewed dark raisin, dusted dark chocolate and stone fruits like plum and cherry. Making this a dangerously smooth pour. A splash of water takes it a step further and accentuates the raisin and prune without sacrificing the weighty body. The finish is long and savory keeping you salivating for your next sip.
To say this is one of our favorite picks would be an understatement. Only 50 bottles will be available between our Stoneham and Andover locations starting July 30th so get yours before they are gone. $189.99/750ml
Cheers!
