It was back in 2008 that Taiwan’s King Car Group conglomerate released the first Kavalan whisky, inspired by the country’s relatively huge consumption of Scotch in recent years. Since then, the company hasn’t looked back, combining a fruit-centred spirit style with multiple cask types, a willingness to experiment and the rapid maturation encouraged by Taiwan’s tropical climate.

Kavalan Distillery Select No.1 (70cl, 40%)

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

Kavalan Distillery Select is one of the last additions to the multi-award-winning core range. They aged it in different refill casks, which gave it the best qualities that Kavalan whisky has. Lots of tropical fruits, vanilla, and toffee. Also, it all comes for a reasonable price.

Water is very important in whisky making, so the water can have a big impact on the taste of the whisky.
It took the founder of Kavalan Distillery a very long time to find the right place with the right water supply.
Ilan became his destination. There is enough cold spring water that flows through the Snow Mountain.

The Distillery Select is the first single malt from Kavalan, which was created for mixing cocktails.
This ‘mixology whisky’ was created by Master Blender Ian Chang.
This single malt is distilled from 100% malted barley in pot stills; the maturation takes place in selected neutral casks.

King Car distillery is located in Yilan County, Taiwan, and the single malt whisky produced there is named after the indigenous people who originally inhabited this northeastern corner of the island: the Kavalan.

Although the distillery was only brought on stream in 2005, the warm sub-tropical climate means that the whisky effectively matures more quickly and an impressive range of whiskies are available (now finally in the UK too!). This Kavalan Single Malt Whisky, for example was awarded a Gold Medal at the 2011 International Wine & Spirits Competition.

Solist is German for ‘Soloist’, which in this case refers to the fact that this expression is from Kavalan’s single cask range (they really, really like musical metaphors). Given this whisky is of course Taiwanese, I can’t really tell you why this range has an apparently German name but I can tell you that their ex-Bourbon cask releases won a Gold Medal at both the ISC 2010 and the IWSC 2011. Impressive.
