✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This rare collector's set from Taiwan's pioneering Kavalan Distillery showcases the profound impact of traditional Spanish Sherry casks on single malt whisky matured in a subtropical climate. Located in Yilan County, where the cold meltwaters of the Snow Mountain range meet the intense heat and humidity of Taiwan, Kavalan experiences an accelerated maturation process that coaxes rich flavors from the wood at an astonishing rate. This decanter set pairs two highly distinct styles: one matured in dry, nutty Amontillado casks, and the other in coastal, briny Manzanilla casks. The intense wood extraction yields spirits of immense depth, complexity, and rich color, bridging the gap between Taiwanese innovation and centuries-old Andalusian bodega traditions.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Kavalan Distillery blev grundlagt i 2005 af King Car Group under ledelse af grundlægger Tien-Tsai Lee og er beliggende i Yuanshan i Yilan-distriktet på Taiwan. Destilleriet er opkaldt efter det oprindelige Kavalan-folk fra Yilan-sletten og var pioner inden for taiwansk single malt whisky i verdensklasse, skabt på mineralrigt smeltevand fra den nærliggende Snow Mountain-bjergkæde. Kavalan drager fuld fordel af Taiwans intense, subtropiske klima, som fremskynder fadmodningen markant og tilfører whiskyen en usædvanlig kompleks, rig og moden smagsprofil på ganske kort tid. Destilleriet har opnået global anerkendelse for sin mangfoldigt præmierede Solist-serie, der hyldes for sine udsøgte fadstyrke-aftapninger modnet på henholdsvis sherry-, portvins-, ex-bourbon- og Vinho Barrique-fade.
