I just bought one from 7-11...I am so surprised when I know Taiwan had own whiskey brand. Last year I was staying Ireland and I've tried some whiskies in Ireland and England, there had many great flavor liquors. Now I know my hometown had a distillery and won so many awards. The taste so amazing~~ I decide to visit the distillery in Yilan county this weekend.
Great coverage. I wish this wasn’t a little out of my price range.but all of our disposable income only goes so far. You make this stuff seem amazing. Comprehensive review.
I don't think you can under state the Fino. Last night at the bar; and just finishing the George T Stagg for the first time. I asked for Kavalan Sherry, now remind you we had a Vinho Barrique with the Stagg. They didn't have the regular sherry, but offered the Fino. I go sure give me the Fino, and another Barrique. I didn't even know I was drinking Cask Strength with these whiskys. Wife felt it later, but man oh man. Worth the cost 100% and will be buying a couple bottles of these whiskys for sure. I thought about this review, and went for it. Thanks Liquor Hound. You expanded my selection.
+Seattle206723 - Sounds like a great evening! You chose wisely and I think the more whiskies you try, the more you'll know you made a smart decision with the Fino. Cheers!
Such great whisky’s. I really love the kavalan solist range. I bought the solist port, solist ex bourbon and the solist vinho barrique. The sherry is gonna be next months buy.
I have the Vinho and the sherry, still have to try the ex bourbon. I bought a sample of the fino from the distillery inn2016 and found it to be spectacular. The vinho is overall my favorite, though. I also tried the peaty cask, of which I am expecting a bottle in a couple of months, and found it very impressive too. Have you tried it, Liquorhound?
LH, they all sound amazing. The ex-bourbon and sherry sound good to me. I don't know how they do it being about 5 years old, as when you compare it to scotch and their aging process. I will check TWE and MOM for prices. Great video.
Awesome reviews ! I've only tried the ex Bourbon, ex Sherry and the VB. I liked the Sherry most. With the huge production capacity they have, these should be closer to USD100/750cc bottle ! I want to try the new Solists if I can find them. Kavalan would be doing themselves a huge favor if they send you a bottle of each to try and talk about !
@LiquorHound : Thanks for this awesome review! Thanks to you i've bought the Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique & The Solist Sherry Cask ....for a steal at a sale online. In my opinion, the Vinho Barrique is one of the best Whisky's i have tasted in a long time, so complex and nice...! Thanks for that ! My next one will be the KAVALAN SOLIST PORT CASK! Greetings from The Netherlands
A similar tasting with Amrut (Intermediate Sherry, Bourbon Cask, Portnova and Peated Cask) for example. They are far less expensive and every bit as good as the Kavalan's. Just a thought.
+LiquorHound I'll be visiting Kavalan Distillery next week and this review / comparison was giving me a perfect background already. You're doing some of the best Whisky reviews out there! Keep on the great work, mate!
+Daniel Däuber - Wow, that's going to be a great distillery visit! And I'm sure whatever you pick up there will be amazing. Thank you for the support and cheers!
Great review. You point out the dot matrix code on the back and this means it not a NAS; age just stated differently right down to the minute it was bottled. The complete provenance and you don't find that with any other malt I know of.
Nice review. I wonder if Kavalan's success is going to spring more distilleries in sub-tropical countries? Btw, being from Finland, liking the Koskenkorva bottle there on the shelf!
Just picked up an Ex bourbon cask strength (55.6%) from Total Wine, CA for $150. Bottled 2014/7/7. Wonder where it has been hiding all these years. They had seven in stock. Distill date was Nov 5th 2009. Similar to yours.
Great review! Few questions.. Have you tried the, Manzanilla, PX or the Amontillado? If so, any favorites? I've had the Vinho, the Sherry cask and the Fino Sherry... Enjoy all and Fino Sherry is my favorite. Hope you're well
So I just picked up the Vinho Barrique from my local store. From his understanding is that it wont be made any longer. Is there any truth to that? Thanks, Cheers!
+D JR - They are the Luigi Bormioli Vinoteque 5-3/4-Ounce Spirit Snifter set. You can get them through Amazon. Cheers! www.amazon.com/dp/B004PGM7MO/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awd_d_9jSFxbDDZKBAJ
Great review! Too bad Kavalan is not easily found at my location. BTW, what is the glass that you used in the video. I've been looking for a Glencarin - like glass but with stem. Appreciate if you can point me where to find them.
+Fred Lee - The stemmed Glencairn's can be a bit hard to find these days, but the one's in my video are the Luigi Bormioli Vinoteque 5-3/4-Ounce Snifter's. You can get them in a set of 6 for around $42 on Amazon. Cheers!
Really good review Hound. Dont seem to be a lot of Kavalan reviews on UA-cam. And the fact how to work out the age statement is a great bit of knowledge
Awesome review as always. 2 questions boss. 1. What type of glasses are those and where do you get them? 2. Any chance we can get some higher end bourbon reviews coming up? Love to see the kavalan line up here. Been debating buying a fino for a while now.
+Evan Lindberg - Thank you! They're the Luigi Bormioli Vinoteque Spirits Snifters that I got from Amazon. If I have the higher end bourbons you're thinking open, I might try to review them. Which ones did you have in mind? Cheers!
+LiquorHound Thanks for the reply. Im of course looking for some ofbb, ph9, frle15, ecbp, wlw, gts15, Eagle rare 17. These are just ones I have on my shelf that Im looking for a good review on. From some of the stuff I see you have I would be interested in ETL comemorative, tornado, EW23,any and all PH collection, FR mariage, jef30, hirsch 16. Im sure im missing a number of great ones in there as well. Your collection is impressive. Makes my 50 bottles look whimpy
+LiquorHound one more question. Im going to acapulco next week and looking to bring some good aged tequilas back as well as some bourbons not available to me here in WI. Any suggestions?
+Evan Lindberg - Well sample them while you're in the stores. If you know what you're looking for (Añejo, Extra Añejo etc...), just ask and they'll usually be happy to let you taste them. For sweeter (dessert style) tequilas, I really liked the Don Cayo and Cava de Oro (Añejo's & Extra Añejo's) the last time I was in Mexico. Remember to shop around to get the lowest price (they'll price match to get your business). Cheers!
+Edward King - Yes, I argon gas all my bottles after every pour. Here's my tank setup (forward to the 10:18 mark) ua-cam.com/video/vGic-_cI5FM/v-deo.html Cheers!
I just gotta say WOW you have a fantastic collection, I have about 50 bottles myself and I always have a hard time choosing what to drink. How do you choose ever choose what to drink Liqourhound? Also what's your daily dram?
+Tony - Lol, it can be a bit difficult to choose what to drink, but most of the time I just narrow down the type of spirit I'm in the mood for and stare at them until one jumps out at me. My "daily dram" changes, but lately I've found myself enjoying Smooth Ambler's "Old Scout" Single Barrel Bourbons (a bargain at $55) and a 19 year Glenburgie bottled by Signatory ($90). Of course now that winter's pushing in here in Texas, the heavily peated Bruichladdich Octomore 6.3 has been getting much more attention. I know it's a bit high priced to be considered a daily dram (at $165), but it's hard to pass up. Cheers!
+Obviousz - To be honest, I've had (and still have) the chance to get a Solist Brandy Cask version, but I heard from my friend that has them that it's not one that I have to have, so I haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. Cheers!
+Dave Weiner - The new ones are still good, and not that much different than the old ones. I had their $300 Brandy Cask last year and it was great. Sadly, I see the prices on the new ones are supposed to hit $500-$700 (for a PX, Manzanilla, & Moscatel). If that's the case, I'm out. Cheers!
Love that massive collection of spirits, and how most of them are open and being enjoyed. You don't see that often any more. Would love some Westland reviews if you get the chance.
If you're talking the 90's Macallan red label 10 year old cask strength's vs Kavalan... Give me the old Macs (they had a better balance of the distillery's whisky profile to the rich sherry). Cheers!
It’s been 2 or so years since I’ve tasted new Kavalan Single Cask releases. I’ll say that I wasn’t as impressed with those as I was with their earlier releases. The finishes were still heavy, but there was some off notes like peroxide and sulfur on certain ones. If I can get some new samples from my whisky friends, I’ll see about doing another video. Cheers!
Great breakdown. I own a Sherry (8+ yrs) and a Vihno (5+ yrs) and I've yet to try them. There's a Fino that I'm keeping an eye on but that sucker is not cheap. Lol
Thanks! I enjoy the Fino for its unique spices, but at almost double the price, I think you made the better buy with the Sherry and Vinho Barrique. Cheers!
+Kizzle Cozzle - It's not a bad thing. There's just some whiskies that are so heavily sherry matured that they're often called "sherry bombs". Some great examples would be Aberlour A'bunadh, Glenfarclas Cask Strength, the old Macallan Cask Strength's and many of the Glendronach's (105, 15 & 18). Those are all great whiskies where the sherry's dried dark fruits (plums, figs, prunes & raisins) and possibly some brighter red fruits (berries) really shine. Cheers!
you never cleaned your palate in between the tastings. Normally it would impact your accuracy of judgment when it comes to the tasting. Could you please comment on the that??
+Alex Martinson - When I'm shooting a video, there's a lot of factors that determine if clean my palate in between spirits. There's unfamiliarity (is it new to me?), categories (tequilas require less for example), strengths (if there's big swings in abv's), flavor profiles (bold, heavy or spicy flavors need more cleansing), video length (I try to keep them down, so if I can avoid that step without sacrificing the review, I will), etc... But in the case of the Kavalan, I'm very familiar with them and already knew they shared a similar base profile, so other than the finishing casks (which profiles I'm also very familiar with), all I needed to do was make sure they were reviewed in order of boldness and complexity. That's why I reviewed the ex-bourbon cask first (simplest), then the Vinho Barrique, then the Sherry Cask and finished with the rich exotic spices of the Fino. I hope this helps explain. Cheers!
***** Slangevar. Thanks for the response. Now I realize that you have had valid reasons for not cleaning the palate between each tasting. But here in Britain when we have Whisky tasting sessions with friends, cleaning the palate is a must as it gives you the opportunity to appreciate the taste-difference between each type that we tend to try for the evening. Thanks for the video and I am going to try the FINO one ( the very last one in the range) as it seemed to be the recommended one by you.
Hmm, Scotch from the lowlands tend to be grassy (particularly Littlemill), but I’ve only found “hay” occasionally in certain bottles (and usually in the background). I don’t find that descriptor to be a specific distillery characteristic, so it’s hard for me to pin down one for you. Cheers!
I'm not certain about this but I was told at a whisky festival last week that the series was originally called "Soloist" but due to difficulty in pronouncing this word by the Taiwanese people the second o was dropped?
+Dave Sill - Yes, if you watch the video from a pc, you'll see the annotations I added in pertaining to that. If not, I have that info in the video comments. Cheers!
Really enjoyed this whisky review. Your info is top-notch, and this is so under-appreciated. Great job Chris!
Thank you and cheers! 🥃
This was an absolutely outstanding review. Your reviews and the information you provide are top notch. Thank you as always.
I'm late to the party. Just found this LiquorHound. Very good review. Right to the point and no annoying gargling noise. I am a fan.
Lol, I’m just happy you made it! Thanks for the comment and cheers!
You do some of the best whisky reviews on the internet.
Thank you and cheers!

Great review, by the way!
Thanks for sharing your personal experience. I just bought the ex- bourbon one after seeing this video.
+Yu Nivek - Congratulations! They're all great whiskies! Cheers!
LH, they all sound amazing. The ex-bourbon and sherry sound good to me. I don't know how they do it being about 5 years old, as when you compare it to scotch and their aging process. I will check TWE and MOM for prices. Great video.
Awesome awesome reviews can you revisit kavalans again
Awesome reviews ! I've only tried the ex Bourbon, ex Sherry and the VB. I liked the Sherry most.

Wow, your new mic gives a lot better sound :)
+Mathias B. - Thanks! I was finally able to find an adapter for Sony's active hot shoe that accepted a 3.5mm input. Cheers!
Great views. I'm enjoying your videos. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of glasses are those?
+D JR - They are the Luigi Bormioli Vinoteque 5-3/4-Ounce Spirit Snifter set. You can get them through Amazon. Cheers!
www.amazon.com/dp/B004PGM7MO/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awd_d_9jSFxbDDZKBAJ
originally meant for grappa, right?

+LiquorHound Thanks! The Lugi Bormiolin Vinoteque is exactly what I'm looking for.
Really good review Hound. Dont seem to be a lot of Kavalan reviews on UA-cam. And the fact how to work out the age statement is a great bit of knowledge
Fantastic review!!! Thank you!
The weather influence, like bourbon in the State, in hot climate that cooks faster.

You have so many whiskys open at the same time. How do you keep them free from oxidization? Gas?
+Edward King - Yes, I argon gas all my bottles after every pour. Here's my tank setup (forward to the 10:18 mark) ua-cam.com/video/vGic-_cI5FM/v-deo.html Cheers!
think that tube is US only as my Kavalan sherry came in a red box as the rest of them are also boxed instead of tubes
my sherry cask came in red leatherette case, purchased in taipei.
I just gotta say WOW you have a fantastic collection, I have about 50 bottles myself and I always have a hard time choosing what to drink.

Hey Hound which are the better whisky's from Kavalan to have the older ones or the newer ones ?
+Dave Weiner - The new ones are still good, and not that much different than the old ones. I had their $300 Brandy Cask last year and it was great. Sadly, I see the prices on the new ones are supposed to hit $500-$700 (for a PX, Manzanilla, & Moscatel). If that's the case, I'm out. Cheers!

Can you revisit these and others and tell us if your views have changed any

I'm looking to try a Sherry cask, should I go for the cask strength or no?
Depends on what you enjoy. Do you like bold cask strength whiskies or easy going sippers? Cheers!
@@LiquorHound more the easy going sipper
Great breakdown. I own a Sherry (8+ yrs) and a Vihno (5+ yrs) and I've yet to try them. There's a Fino that I'm keeping an eye on but that sucker is not cheap. Lol
Thanks! I enjoy the Fino for its unique spices, but at almost double the price, I think you made the better buy with the Sherry and Vinho Barrique. Cheers!

Great video. I have no choice now but to try at least one of these even though I just have way too many whiskeys I have been buying....crazy!
great review as always, but I have to point out that they're called "Solist" and not "soloist"
+Rallerboy888 - You are correct. Thank you and cheers!
I'm not certain about this but I was told at a whisky festival last week that the series was originally called "Soloist" but due to difficulty in pronouncing this word by the Taiwanese people the second o was dropped?
Great review as always what's next whisky made in China.Cheers..
Not China,It's Taiwan.
Thank you!
You started to talk about the price points but got distracted. ☺
+Dave Sill - Yes, if you watch the video from a pc, you'll see the annotations I added in pertaining to that. If not, I have that info in the video comments. Cheers!
Fantastic!
BTW, it's pretty awesome juice!
Nice packaging..
Nice
Amazing you can sense all the notes on the nose. I just smell booze... I'm so not sophisticated.
Fino was not worth it :-( Vinho Barrique yes absolutely
If you want to be douchey, say it vinyu barikuh or bahiki (if want to be extra douchey with Brazilian pronounciation
Too young. I’m not paying the prices they are going for if it’s 5 year old whisky. Give me an age statement and a fair price and I’m in.
