Kavalan 2009 Vintage 15th Anniversary Cask Strength Oloroso Sherry Cask, 56.3%

This single cask is as dark as Black Bowmore, with aromas of raisin, black raspberry, treacle, blackened oak, clove, balsamic vinegar, and vanilla pod. Slightly oily texture in the mouth, with dark chocolate, fruity coffee beans, black cherry, caramelized brown sugar, oak tannins, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. The long finish offers oak, raisin, and espresso. An incredible drinking experience, but close to being over-oaked. (Release date: 3/25)
