Each bottle was hand signed by Master Blender Ian Chang on his last day at Kavalan, February 29, 2020.
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Guava and honey covered apricots. Sweet melon and apples dressed up in a floral bouquet. Green grapes with dark chocolate and dried fruits abundant with hints of vanilla and wine gummies.
Palate: A beautiful soft sweet spice that is so clean and fresh on the palate. The sweet melon bursts through along with cherries and vanilla. There is a really nice dark dried red apple taste as well, as if mixed in cocoa powder and each sip seems to bring out more unique tastes and flavours.
Finish: You can really pick out that Signature Kavalan exotic fruit taste, with honey covered melons and guava. There is a slight taste of pecan and nuts that stays for a while and gets drowned out when that wine gummy sweetness jumps out. A perfectly balanced spicy sweetness that is somehow complex yet not overwhelming at all. The 59.4% is hidden in a ton of cocoa, soft spices and melon sweetness with a long finish that begs for one more sip!
