✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the lush, subtropical climate of Yilan County in northeastern Taiwan, Kavalan's Solist Sherry Cask is a testament to the revolutionary concept of rapid maturation. Utilizing the pristine, mineral-rich meltwater from the nearby Snow Mountain range, this single malt is aged in hand-selected Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. The intense heat and humidity of Taiwan accelerate the interaction between the spirit and the wood, a phenomenon known as the 'angel's share' which can reach up to 15% annually. This dramatic climate forces the whisky to mature at an astonishing rate, imparting deep, complex layers of dried dark fruits, rich chocolate, and warm spices that rival spirits aged for decades in cooler climates.
🍾 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.
