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 . It is a mix of bourbon, Oloroso sherry, ruby Port and puncheon casks. It seems a bit odd to name three after their seasoning and the fourth based on its size, right?Next up is Kavalan Peatist . 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. On the label it says Single Cask Strength .

Lagavulin 15 Years (Feis Ile 2025)
Moscatel is one of the key wines of Andalusia. Just like in the sherry region, Málaga also uses Pedro Ximénez and Muscat grapes to create sweet wines. While PX is more common to Jerez, Málaga is well known for its Moscatel.These Moscatel casks were used by Lagavulin to finish its Feis Ile 2025 bottling, a 15 year old whisky. I believe the last Feis Ile release we tried from them was the 2021 Port cask finish.

Port Askaig 8 Years / 15 Years / 17 Years / 25 Years
Port Askaig is the well-known brand of Islay whiskies from Elixir Distillers . Launched in 2009 , we've had a lot of expressions over the years from 8 year-olds up to 45 year-olds. Today we're revisiting a few of them, and we include a 15 Year Old and 25 Year Old that we hadn't seen before.Remember all of these are single malt whiskies . Caol Ila is often part of the line-up, but also others. Port Askaig 8 yo (45,8%, Elixir Distillers +/- 2025) Nose: a slightly funky, vegetal nose. A lot of cabbage and sauerkraut, along with apple cider and hints of new rubber wellies. Then some seaweed butter, lemon rinds and a slightly mezcal-like smokiness. Hints of yeasty dough in the distance. Mouth: rather thick, with a nice balance of apple sweetness, some sourness, peppery heat and lifting coastal notes. Plenty of vegetal oils and cold ashes. Heather and brine, a touch of ginger, along with lemon juice and hints of oysters. Finish: good length, with some toffee sweetness shining through,
