This highly collectible single malt whisky was selected and bottled to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the renowned spirits importer Velier. Distilled in November 2011 at Taiwan's pioneering Kavalan Distillery in Yilan County, this expression was aged in a single rum cask (Cask No. M111104067A) and bottled at cask strength in 2017. Kavalan's unique subtropical environment accelerates the wood extraction process, allowing the spirit to develop immense depth and complexity in a relatively short period. The rum cask influence introduces rich notes of caramelized sugar, tropical fruits, and warm baking spices, beautifully complementing Kavalan's signature orchard fruit and floral character.
🍾 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.
