Kavalan Four-Cask Matured / Peatist Bourbon

Here we have two of the latest releases from Kavalan distillery in Taiwan. The first is a 15 year old expression called Four-Cask Matured .

I first read that as peatiest, but it's only moderately peated. I guess the name is an analogy for their Solist range. Here you have different casks for different markets.

I used to think that blends of different styles of whiskey were somehow lesser whiskeys. But then I made an infinity bottle of 2 ounces of every whiskey I reviewed in a year. It was amazing. Rosé wine used to be my favorite style when I was young. Then I found that I much preferred fruity, crisp whites and
