Kavalan Oloroso Sherry Oak Single Malt Whisky 750mL

Kavalan Oloroso Sherry Oak Single Malt Whisky

Taiwanese Single Malt | 92 Proof (46% ABV) | 750mL

Process & Profile

Kavalan Oloroso Sherry Oak Single Malt Whisky is a sherry-aged expression from Taiwan’s award-winning Kavalan Distillery, crafted to showcase the rich, bold influence of Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. Unlike many sherry-finished whiskies, this single malt is fully matured in Oloroso sherry casks, not just finished—resulting in deep color, intense flavor, and luxurious texture. The tropical climate of Yilan County accelerates the maturation process, giving this whisky remarkable depth and character in a shorter aging window.

Bottled at 46% ABV and non-chill filtered, it delivers pure, undiluted sherry-matured richness.
