✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted in the subtropical climate of Yilan County, Taiwan, this exceptional single cask release from Kavalan highlights the distillery's pioneering approach to rapid maturation. Utilizing the pure, mineral-rich meltwater of the nearby Snow Mountain range, Kavalan benefits from intense heat and humidity, which dramatically accelerates the interaction between the spirit and the wood. This specific bottling, drawn from a hand-selected Spanish Oloroso Sherry cask (Cask No. S090606012A, distilled in June 2009), showcases the profound depth and complexity achievable under these unique conditions. The result is a whisky of immense richness, characterized by deep dried-fruit notes, dark chocolate, and warm baking spices, standing as a testament to Kavalan's mastery of cask maturation over its landmark anniversaries.
