Kavalan Whisky: Unlock the Secrets of Taiwan’s Finest Spirits

Introduction to Kavalan Distillery

The distillery was founded in 2005 by King Car Group, a company specializing in the production of beverages and food. The inspiration for the creation of this whisky was the dream of creating the first Taiwanese whisky distillery that could compete with the best Scottish and Japanese single malts.

Global Recognition and Success

The dynamic activities led to the first bottle of whisky that hit the market in 2008, and in 2010 the brand began to win international awards, which initiated its global success.

Unique Maturation Process in Taiwan

The whisky matures in the tropical climate of Taiwan, which accelerates the aging process and allows for deeper, more concentrated aromas in a shorter time. Angels share which, in comparison with Scotland, 6% in the Kavalan distillery is as much as 12%, so it will be known that the distillery cannot afford extremely long maturation, this year the bottle that is currently the oldest in the portfolio saw the light of day, i.e. a 15-year-old single malt.

Factors Influencing Kavalan Whisky's Distinctiveness

Climate:

Faster whisky maturation - The warm, humid climate of Taiwan means that Kavalan whisky ages 2-3 times faster than Scotch whisky, allowing for a depth of flavor in a shorter time.

Water:

Pure spring water - The distillery is located in Yilan County, known for its crystal clear water, which plays a key role in the production of Kavalan whisky.

Barrels:

A variety of maturing barrels – Kavalan experiments with maturing in bourbon, sherry, port, wine and local Taiwanese oak barrels, which gives the whisky unique flavor profiles.
