✨ Technical Specifications
Kavalan's Distillery Select No. 2 is a brilliant showcase of the distillery's blending prowess and the unique subtropical maturation process of Yilan County, Taiwan. Here, the intense heat and humidity accelerate the interaction between the spirit and the oak, achieving in a few years a depth of character that would take decades in cooler climates. While its sibling, No. 1, highlights lush tropical fruits, No. 2 is meticulously crafted to emphasize a more delicate, aromatic profile rich with herbal, floral, and warm woody notes. The name Kavalan pays tribute to the indigenous people of the region, symbolizing a harmonious blend of ancient natural beauty and modern distilling innovation.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 2005 by the King Car Group under founder Tien-Tsai Lee, Kavalan Distillery is located in Yuanshan Township within Yilan County, Taiwan. Named after the indigenous Kavalan people of the Yilan plain, the distillery pioneered world-class Taiwanese single malt whisky production using mineral-rich meltwater sourced from the nearby Snow Mountain range. Kavalan capitalizes on Taiwan's intense subtropical climate, which accelerates the wood maturation process to yield remarkably complex, rich, and mature flavor profiles in a compressed timeframe. The distillery is globally renowned for its multi-award-winning Single Malt Solist series, celebrated for exquisite cask-strength releases matured in Sherry, Port, Ex-Bourbon, and Vinho Barrique casks.
