Frequently asked

What is Amontillado?
Amontillado begins as fino sherry (aged under flor yeast) then continues aging after the flor dies — combining fino's fresh character with oxidative development. Distinctive nutty complexity, more elegant than Oloroso.

Why are Amontillado casks so rare in whisky?
Amontillado production is relatively small (a subset of Andalusian sherry). Casks that previously held Amontillado are correspondingly rare in the international market. Kavalan's ability to source them for a Solist expression is genuinely unusual.

Is this investment-grade?
Yes — rare cask types in Kavalan Solist range command significant collector interest. The combination of rarity + single-cask + Kavalan's international reputation makes this a strong secondary-market performer.
