--------------------------
Kavalan VINHO wine cask strength whisky utilizes the world's finest wine casks. These American white oak staves are naturally air-dried for two years, followed by a unique charring technique developed in-house. This batch represents a perfect fusion of art and science, showcasing the VINHO's distinctive profile.

Color: Deep Autumn Gold.
Nose: Bursts with vibrant fruit notes such as melon, mango, vanilla, and caramel sweetness, harmoniously blending with the rich characteristics imparted by the wine cask.
It presents a delicate and balanced aroma, perfectly showcasing the interplay between fruit and oak.
Palate: Extremely sweet! Almonds, dark chocolate, toffee, honey, and mango dance on the palate.
The finish is clean, and the complex flavors are embodied in a superior malt whisky—rich in texture and well worth savoring repeatedly.
