Reviewing the rum cask expression due to a repeated peat note. The initial aroma offered coconut and banana, followed by golden straw and honey on the palate.

4.0
Faint cigar smoke, caramelized tropical fruit, quite spirited, with a long finish of sweet maple syrup-covered ham.

4.0
The peat presence is minimal. It's flavorful, but there's a touch of heat and a faint bitterness at the conclusion.

5.0
Full, rich, and sweet. Peaty, but not excessively so. A very smooth Kavalan. Sampled from a friend's collection.
