Kavalan Classic Single Malt Taiwanese Whisky
Single Malt Taiwanese Whisky
£59.95
Kavalan Classic Single Malt Whisky exemplifies the sheer quality of whisky coming out of Taiwan. The craftsmanship of the distillery works with the humid Taiwanese climate to create whisky that is diverse and complex. Clean, elegant, floral (pleasant & refreshing fragrance of the butterfly orchid), fruity and seductive. This single malt whisky offers hints of honey, tropical fruits (mango in particular), pear drop, vanilla, coconuts and suggestions of chocolate with a palate of sweet mango juice with spicy complexity and gentle warmth on a medium, oily and citrus finish.
Kavalan Distillery has been pioneering the art of single malt whisky in Yilan County, Taiwan, since 2005. Kavalan sources the mineral-rich meltwaters of Snow Mountain and is aged in a unique combination of intense heat and humidity together with sea and mountain breezes. All this combines to create the quality, smoothness, and fruity character for which Kavalan is known. Kavalan takes Yilan County's old name. A land of blessings, it was here that entrepreneur Mr. Tien-Tsai Lee dreamed of a new whisky homeland and a ‘century-old’ distillery to last generations. Mr. T.T. Lee’s ambition to create Taiwan’s first whisky took him across the old world to the sacred distilleries of Scotland and Japan. He knew to compete, Taiwan must be world-class, and this tested every sinew of his resolve.
