Fino, Spanish for 'Fine', is the driest and palest of all varieties of traditional sherry
wine. Traditional Fino wine is usually dry and is best consumed shortly after the
bottle is opened in order to avoid losing its flavour. Kavalan's Fino, matured in the
finest Fino Sherry butts, however, provides mild sweetness that excites the palate.
Colour
Dark golden amber
Nose
The rich aroma of sherry, with its creamy toffee and rich fudge qualities and
the slightest hint of chocolate, blends with the fruity character of the spirit. The
fruitiness is a complex, multi-layered blend of mango and over-ripe citrus fruit
flavours that ends with a touch of green apples.
Palate
Natural sweetness on the tongue is accentuated with a gentle fudge flavour. The
complex fruity flavours are layered with dry smoked wood aromas. Solist Fino cask
strength whisky has a long finish and natural sweetness giving way to a pleasant
mouth-drying sensation that leaves the connoisseur ready for the next sip!
