✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
