Kavalan Artist Series Ocean Puncheon Cask

Based on the color of the Puncheon Cask, one might assume it was aged in virgin oak or sherry puncheons. However, upon contacting the distillery, it was revealed that the puncheons had previously held rum, and Kavalan utilized European oak puncheons in its early years. The 12 Year Puncheon Cask was exceptional, brimming with tropical fruit, nuts, rum-soaked raisins, golden syrup, plums, honey, toffee, peaches, and spices.
