✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Kavalan's Solist Oloroso Sherry Cask is a legendary expression of Taiwanese single malt whisky, matured in top-tier Spanish Oloroso sherry casks in the subtropical climate of Yilan County. The intense heat and humidity of Taiwan accelerate the interaction between the spirit and the wood, a phenomenon often referred to as 'rapid maturation' or 'turbocharged aging.' This specific single cask release showcases the dramatic influence of the Oloroso seasoned oak, delivering a remarkably dark, mahogany-hued spirit. The story of Kavalan is one of bold ambition, defying traditional Scotch whisky-making norms by proving that world-class single malts can thrive in tropical climates, utilizing the pure meltwater from the nearby Snow Mountain range to craft a rich, complex, and highly decorated spirit.
🍾 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.
