✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Kavalan's Ex-Bourbon Oak Single Malt Whisky is a testament to the revolutionary impact of subtropical maturation. Crafted in Yilan County, Taiwan, this expression is matured in hand-selected, first-fill American ex-bourbon casks. The distillery utilizes the pure, mineral-rich meltwater from the Snow Mountain range, which contributes to the spirit's signature clean and silky mouthfeel. Due to Taiwan's intense heat and humidity, the interaction between the spirit and the oak is highly accelerated, extracting rich vanilla, coconut, and soft spice notes far more rapidly than in traditional cool-climate distilling regions. This results in a vibrant, multi-layered single malt that beautifully balances Kavalan's signature tropical fruitiness with the sweet, woody elegance of classic bourbon barrels.
🍾 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.
