✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This exceptional single malt is part of the highly exclusive Kavalan Artist Series, a collaboration with the master Taiwanese fine artist Paul Chiang. Inspired by the coastal beauty of Taitung and Chiang's painting 'Pisilian (Morning Breeze)', this expression was matured in a single Puncheon cask (No. P080103044) and bottled in 2020. Puncheon casks, traditionally used for maturing sherry, impart a delicate yet rich character to the spirit. Kavalan's signature rapid maturation, driven by the intense subtropical heat of Yilan County and tempered by the cool breezes of the Snow Mountain range, coaxes deep, complex flavors of honey, tropical fruits, and soft oak from the wood in a fraction of the time required in cooler climates. This bottle represents a harmonious marriage of fine art and liquid craftsmanship.
🍾 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.
