✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This exceptional single malt from Taiwan's pioneering Kavalan Distillery represents a masterclass in subtropical maturation. Distilled in Yilan County, where the pure meltwater of the Snow Mountain range meets an intense, humid climate, the spirit matures at an accelerated rate compared to traditional cool-climate whiskies. This specific release, aged for nine years in a hand-selected Portuguese Port cask (Cask No. O140311050A), highlights the profound wood extraction achieved under these unique conditions. The interaction with the Port-seasoned oak infuses the whisky with deep ruby hues, rich dried-fruit complexities, and a velvety texture, showcasing Kavalan's globally acclaimed expertise in cask selection and maturation.
🍾 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.
