Kavalan King Car 45th Anniversary

$40.00

To celebrate an extraordinary milestone, Kavalan presents the 45th Anniversary Release — a whisky that captures the pinnacle of rarity, craftsmanship, and sherry cask mastery.

Matured exclusively in an exceptional Palo Cortado sherry cask sourced from Spain’s legendary Sherry Triangle, this release embodies both mystery and elegance. Palo Cortado is among the rarest sherry styles, celebrated for its unique dual aging process — beginning with biological aging, then transitioning into oxidative aging. This intricate evolution gives the whisky an extraordinary depth and balance.

On the nose and palate, the whisky reveals the refined aromatic grace of Amontillado, seamlessly intertwined with the rich, rounded structure of Oloroso. Layers unfold with poise and complexity, offering a captivating harmony that is at once delicate, powerful, and endlessly intriguing.

This 45th Anniversary release stands as a defining expression within Kavalan’s sherry cask portfolio — not only honoring decades of innovation, but also marking the beginning of a bold new chapter. A true collector’s piece, it is a testament to Kavalan’s relentless pursuit of excellence and its ability to transform rare casks into unforgettable whisky experiences.

Tasting Notes


COLOUR: Caramel Mahogany

NOSE: Rich and intricate, with aromas of cocoa powder and citrus bursting forth, followed by the sweet scents of matured dried fruits, pastries, and toffee. Full-bodied and smooth in texture, intertwining layers of nutty flavours, a hint of vanilla fruitcake and fragrant cardamom emerging, leading to a pure and elegant finish.

PALATE: The taste evokes the flavour of an orange pound cake with rich dried fruits enveloping the palate. Raisins meld with vanilla and toasted biscuit aroma, while caramel toffee accents are dotted with crushed walnut pieces, a rich, multi-layered finish that lingers on the palate.
