✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Kavalan's Peated Malt Cask Strength represents a fascinating intersection of Scottish tradition and Taiwanese innovation. Distilled from peated malted barley and proofed with the pristine, mineral-rich meltwater of Taiwan's Snow Mountain range, this single malt undergoes accelerated maturation in the intense subtropical heat of Yilan County. This unique climate causes the wood to breathe rapidly, imparting deep, complex oak characteristics in a fraction of the time required in cooler climates. The result is a beautifully balanced spirit where the earthy, smoky notes of peat are harmoniously integrated with Kavalan's signature tropical fruit esters—such as mango, coconut, and ripe pineapple—yielding a remarkably sophisticated and robust single cask expression.
🍾 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.
