✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
