According to Kavalan's master distiller Ian Chang, the Kavalan Distillery Select showcases the distillery's core qualities: vibrant fruitiness, subtle florals, and a hint of honeyed sweetness, all balanced to minimize the impact of previous cask fills and dominant wood influences. The nose is sweet and fruity, with honeyed apples, dried apricots, tropical fruit notes of papaya and mango, and a rich butterscotch undertone. On the palate, expect dried fruits, walnuts, clover honey, dark chocolate, and creamy toffee.
