✨ wine.spec_sheet
This highly collectible single malt represents a harmonious marriage of fine art and liquid craftsmanship, born from a collaboration between Taiwan's Kavalan Distillery and the acclaimed Taiwanese abstract artist Paul Chiang. Part of a prestigious limited-edition series, this expression features Chiang's evocative artwork on the label, celebrating the natural beauty of Yilan County. Distilled from peated malted barley and matured in Taiwan's intense subtropical climate, the whisky benefits from accelerated wood extraction and the pristine, mineral-rich meltwater of the Snow Mountain range. The peated style of Kavalan is exceptionally rare, delivering a complex profile where earthy, coastal peat smoke beautifully intertwines with the distillery's signature tropical fruit notes, such as mango, coconut, and ripe pineapple, rounded out by deep oak complexity from the single cask maturation.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 2005 by the King Car Group in Yilan County, Taiwan, Kavalan Distillery is the pioneer of Taiwanese single malt whisky. Named after the indigenous people who originally inhabited the Yilan Plain, the distillery utilizes the pristine, mineral-rich meltwaters of the nearby Snow Mountain range. Kavalan's production philosophy leverages Taiwan's intense subtropical climate, which accelerates the wood extraction process to achieve complex, mature flavor profiles in a fraction of the time required in cooler climates. The distillery is globally renowned for its award-winning Solist series, particularly the Solist Vinho Barrique and diverse Sherry Cask expressions, which showcase intense tropical fruit notes and rich oak complexity.
