EYE
Red – almost blood red
NOSE
Sherry wrapped malt; blood orange, blackberry taffy, waxy licorice, cocoa, dark fruit candy, vermouth, oak, sour cherries, and a touch of mango. This is delightful.
PALATE
Blackberry taffy; oaky, waxy, spicy and malty with bits of vermouth and sour cherries underneath. Damn this thing is dark and lovely.
FINISH
Long slow fade of blackberries, citric acid, vermouth, oak, spice and vanilla.
BALANCE, BODY & FEEL
Great balance, round full body and a slick warm feel.
OVERALL
Kavalan Solist PX Sherry is great. There’s so much happening in this swirling ball of tannic oak, sour cherries and a vermouth sweetness. It’s dark and heavy and tip-toes that thin line of cloying sweetness and that oak is crazy. I’ve never picked up a strong sense of oak in a Kavalan, but this has it in a way that reminds me of a well aged oaked bourbon. Weird, but good… very good.
