✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
