Kavalan is the brand of single malt whisky produced by the Yuan Shan Distillery in Taiwan. Kavalan is the name of the first tribe who lived in the mountain area where the distillery was built in 2005. The Kavalan whisky is distilled from Scottish and Scandinavian barley and matures primarily on casks of American oak. Because it gets very hot in Taiwan in the summer (up to 40˚ C), the whisky that is maturing evaporates much faster than in Scotland. The Kavalan whisky therefore matures for a minimum of 4 years, but not much longer, so as not to be confronted with empty casks. Due to the high temperature, the maturation process itself is faster: a 4-year-old Kavalan is therefore 'older' than a 4-year-old Scottish whisky.
Taiwanese Kavalan does not shy away from the experiment, as is also apparent with this Concertmaster single malt whisky. It is aged and finished in 3 different port casks. And that is reflected in whisky as a range of sweet and sour notes. A unusual dram!
With this malt, matured in 8 different casks, the Taiwanese distillery Kavalan presents the total range of flavors that they produce. That is why this special whisky does not have a character of its own, but it is more than worthy of further investigation
Due to the higher temperatures in Taiwan, the whisky matures faster in the warehouse there than in, for example, Scotland. Of course, that also applies to this Kavalan Soloist edition. It aged in a bourbon cask and was bottled at cask strength (57.8%).
Here is another single cask bottling of Kavalan single malt whisky. Due to the climate there, this Taiwanese whisky matures faster than, for example, Scotch whisky. This Soloist matured on a port cask. That yielded 222 bottles, so be quick! (59.4%)
Taiwan's Yuan Shan Distillery makes single malt whisky under the Kavalan brand. Especially known are their Soloist single-cask bottlings, of which several thousand are already released. This Soloist aged in an Oloroso cask (raisins, marzipan!). 57.1%
The single-cask bottlings in the Solist series from the Taiwanese Kavalan often score very high. Fortunately, new Soloists appear very regularly. Like this single malt whisky that matured in a wine cask and has notes like cocoa and tropical fruit. (55.6%)
