✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This exceptional single malt is part of the highly exclusive Kavalan Artist Series, a collaboration with the master Taiwanese painter Paul Chiang. The series juxtaposes the fine art of whisky-making with Chiang's evocative abstract paintings, specifically highlighting his connection to his homeland. Matured in hand-selected French red wine casks, this expression benefits from Yilan County's unique subtropical climate, where intense heat and humidity accelerate the interaction between the spirit and the wood. The result is a remarkably complex and mature profile far beyond its chronological age, marrying the elegant, berry-forward, and structured tannin influences of French oak with Kavalan's signature tropical fruit character.
🍾 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.
