✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Kavalan's Concertmaster Port Cask Finish is a masterclass in the art of cask finishing, showcasing how Taiwan's unique subtropical climate interacts with traditional European oak. Located in Yilan County, where the cold, pure meltwaters of the Snow Mountain range meet the humid air of the Pacific, the distillery benefits from an accelerated maturation process. This 'angel's share' extraction is exceptionally high, resulting in a spirit of remarkable depth at a young age. The Concertmaster begins its journey in refill American oak casks before being transferred to a harmonious blend of Ruby, Tawny, and Vintage Port casks. This finishing process imparts a beautiful ruby-red hue and infuses the distillery's signature tropical fruit profile with rich, jammy notes of red berries, chocolate, and warming spices.
🍾 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.
