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.
This single malt bottling from the renowned Taiwanese brand Kavalan matured in first-fill bourbon casks and is bottled at 46% ABV. In addition to its distillery profile, this pleasantly drinkable malt has distinct notes of honey and vanilla.
And there it was, in 2008, Kavalan's first single malt whisky bottling. The distillery, opened in Taiwan in 2005, quickly became popular with its young, but thanks to the locally high temperatures, mature and flavourful whisky, often single cask. (40%)
This is one of the many single-cask, cask-strength bottlings for which Taiwanese Kavalan is known. It matured for 7 years in a bourbon cask. That doesn't seem long, but due to the high temperatures in Taiwan, the single malt whisky is quite mature. (54%)
The Solist bottlings from Taiwan's Kavalan distillery are single-cask bottlings at cask strength. Several thousand bottlings in this series have been released, matured in various types of casks. This release matured for 12 years in a port cask. (57.1%)
Taiwan's Yuan Shan Distillery makes single malt whisky under the Kavalan brand. Especially known are the Soloist single-cask bottlings of which several thousand are already released. This Soloist aged in an Oloroso sherry cask. (54.8% ABV)
