Kavalan Solist Madeira Cask: 1L Travel Retail Single Malt

Kavalan Unveils Solist Madeira Cask for Global Travel Retail

Taiwan’s Kavalan presents the Kavalan Solist Travel Retail Edition 100 cl , a limited edition single malt bottled at natural cask strength. Crafted from a single cask matured in Madeira wine barrels, this 1,000ml whisky offers a distinctive expression combining Kavalan’s tropical profile with the rich heritage of Madeira’s “Voyage Wine.” This release marks a notable addition to the Solist series, showcasing first-fill Madeira casks and a robust ABV ranging between 50 and 60 percent, depending on the individual cask.

Design & Presentation

The whisky is housed in a 1-litre bottle accompanied by metallic pink packaging. This visual choice reflects the Solist philosophy of highlighting the pure and unfiltered character of the cask, as the whisky is presented non-chill filtered with natural colour.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

The whisky matures exclusively in first-fill casks formerly used to age Tinta Negra Madeira wine, prized for its vibrant acidity and intense fruit character. This cask choice pays homage to Madeira’s historic role in global trade, where exposure to heat and sea voyages enriched the wine’s flavor. The cask imparts a harmonious balance of fruit, spice, and refined sweetness to Kavalan’s tropical whisky style.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Fresh cherry, grape, and apple, with honey and cinnamon spice; toffee, almond, and vanilla in the background.
• Palate: Rich melon and apricot blend into fig, marmalade, and grape, accented by white pepper and cinnamon; sweet toffee and honey develop on the finish.
• Finish: Full and long-lasting, lingering with honeyed sweetness.

The Kavalan Solist Travel Retail Edition 100 cl appears as a 1,000ml bottle at natural cask strength, available in select global travel retail markets including key destinations across Southeast Asia. While exact pricing and bottle numbers remain undisclosed, this limited edition supports Kavalan’s growing reputation for expertly crafted single malt whisky matured in unique casks.
