Kavalan Announces Year of the Horse Lunar New Year Gift Set
Kavalan has announced its Year of the Horse Lunar New Year Gift Set, a limited edition designed to celebrate the Year of the Horse, which falls on Tuesday, February 17, and symbolizes prosperity and good fortune.
The Year of the Horse Lunar New Year Gift Set includes a bottle of Kavalan Triple Sherry Cask Single Malt Whisky and a Kavalan branded tulip-shaped snifter. The artwork on the gift box and bottle features a golden horse – symbolizing vitality and good fortune – stepping over blooming peonies – representing prosperity.
Kavalan Triple Sherry Cask Single Malt Whisky is a marriage of single malts matured in three types of sherry casks — Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez, and Moscatel — and bottled at 43% ABV.
Official tasting notes for Kavalan Triple Sherry Cask Single Malt Whisky follow:
Nose: Ripe, mature berries and dried fruits fill the nose, with fresh scents of grapes and citrus interlaced with chocolate brownie and toffee sweetness. Hints of cinnamon, clover and spiciness, blending into pleasant oakiness and fragrant rosemary.
Palate: Lingering flavors of sherry dried fruits. Warm and smooth with a mellow texture. A lively dance of candied fruit, caramel, and honey sweetness on the taste buds. Multi-layered and perfectly balanced, it’s an unforgettable feast for the palate.
Finish: Tingling, nuanced, medium-long finish that exhibits overtones of roasted oak, honey on rice chex cereal, kumquat, and black tapioca. Rich with beautiful barrel flavors.
The Kavalan Year of the Horse Lunar New Year Gift Set carries a suggested retail price of $114.99 and will be available in select markets and at Hotaling & Co.’s Bottle Shop.
