Kavalan Launches Grand Reserve No. 1 and No. 2 for Lotte Duty Free
Kavalan Distillery has announced two new expressions for Lotte Duty Free: Kavalan Grand Reserve No. 1 and No. 2.
The Grand Reserve series centers on Kavalan’s Vinho wine casks, enhanced by barrel-aging and blending to showcase Kavalan’s complexity and depth.
Kavalan Grand Reserve No. 1 combines Vinho wine casks with rare Spanish Amontillado sherry casks and is bottled at 40% ABV. Official tasting notes for Kavalan Grand Reserve No. 1 follow:
Nose: Rich aromas of apricot jam and caramel, with accents of dried and candied fruits, create a multi-layered profile. Fresh melon and pomegranate add vibrant fruitiness, culminating in a finish of almond chocolate and brown sugar syrup. The bouquet is complex and full-bodied, providing a deeply satisfying experience.
Palate: A sip reveals rich aromas of hazelnuts, creamy custard, and ripe berry jam, accompanied by lingering notes of honey, cinnamon, caramel, and coffee. Subtle hints of spice weave through, leading to a long, sweet finish.
Kavalan Grand Reserve No. 2 combines Vinho wine casks with Madeira casks and Portuguese ruby port casks and is bottled at 40% ABV. Official tasting notes for Kavalan Grand Reserve No. 2 follow:
Nose: Aromas of maple syrup and walnut tart meld with the tangy sweetness of berry cheesecake, mango, pineapple, and cantaloupe. The finish unveils roasted oolong tea notes, highlighted by a touch of sweet longan honey.
Palate: Blackberry and cherry are complemented by preserved plums and raisins, creating a rich and full fruit aroma. Cardamom, pepper, and woody notes intertwine, with hints of smokiness and subtle spices on the palate.
The Kavalan Grand Reserve series is now available at Lotte Duty Free stores.
