✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted in the subtropical climate of Yilan County, Taiwan, this exceptional single malt represents Kavalan's innovative approach to whisky maturation. Utilizing the pure, mineral-rich meltwater of the nearby Snow Mountain range, the distillery benefits from intense heat and humidity, which drastically accelerates the interaction between the spirit and the oak—a phenomenon often described as producing a mature character in a fraction of the time required in traditional cooler climates. This specific expression, aged in select ex-bourbon casks, highlights the distillery's signature tropical fruit profile. The wood extraction process yields rich layers of vanilla, coconut, and spices, seamlessly integrating with the vibrant, ester-rich spirit that has made Kavalan a modern legend in the global spirits community.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Kavalan blev grundlagt i 2005 af Tien-Tsai Lee fra King Car Group og er Taiwans banebrydende single malt-destilleri. Destilleriet ligger på den frodige alluviale slette i Yuanshan-distriktet i Yilan County, flankeret af Stillehavet og Xueshan-bjergkæden (Snow Mountain). Til mæskningen udnyttes det rene, mineralrige smeltevand fra bjergene. Kavalan destillerer på traditionelle kobberkedler, og stedets terroir præges markant af det nordøstlige Taiwans intense subtropiske luftfugtighed og markante temperatursvingninger. Dette ekstreme klima – udviklet i tæt samarbejde med den afdøde fadmodningsekspert Dr. Jim Swan – fremskynder udtrækket fra fadet og iltningen, så års lagring koncentreres i hurtige cyklusser. Gennem et omhyggeligt fadprogram, der navnlig omfatter pionerarbejdet med Shave, Toast and Re-char-processen (STR) samt krydrede sherry- og bourbonfade, opnår Kavalan en exceptionel fylde, intens tropisk frugtkarakter og strukturel elegance. Destilleriets toneangivende Solist-serie, herunder særligt Vinho Barrique- og Oloroso Sherry-aftapningerne fra enkeltfade, nyder enorm international anerkendelse.
