**Whisky sweetness from Taiwan, winner** Whisky, Kavalan, Triple Sherry, Single Malt, Taiwan, 70cl 57.8%

Tasted By The Posh Off Licence September 2025.

Pedro Ximénez sherry has long wooed the guests at our bar, and now—alongside fino and oloroso—this Taiwanese single malt showcases just how transformative sherry casks can be. Rich with sweetness and layered fruit, it carries a velvety thickness that lingers beautifully on the palate. The influence of PX is unmistakable, adding lush depth to a whisky already brimming with character. This dram stands shoulder to shoulder with some of the best fruity whiskies we’ve poured—and it’s one we’re proud to keep firmly on our shelf.

Kavalan Triple Sherry Cask Single Malt Whisky is a rare whisky matured in three different sherry casks. It combines the rich and decadent flavours of Oloroso sherry casks with the sweetness and fruity notes of Moscatel and Pedro Ximenez.

Founded in 2005, Kavalan is Taiwan’s first whisky distillery and has become one of the most recognised producers in the world, known for its innovative use of casks. The unique environment has allowed Kavalan to harness tropical aging and create a sophisticated range of Single Malts.

Kavalan Triple Sherry Cask Single Malt is best served neat to highlight the rich depth of flavour and mouthfeel of the whisky and to allow the complexities of the sherry casks to shine through.
