Kavalan Ex-Bourbon Oak, from Taiwan, this new version of Kavalan may not be a cask strength whisky but it has retained all the essential qualities of a very aromatic single malt. Thanks to the combination of natural Kavalan water and aging in bourbon barrels, this edition is incredibly creamy with incredible sweetness and unique flavours.
Awards :
Nose : Aromatic on exotic fruits, vanilla, coconut and spices.
Palate : Soft and balanced on vanilla and spices. Full of roundness and complexity.
Finish : Long and full of character with menthol, fruity and spicy notes.
Voted Best Asian Single Malt at the World Whiskies Awards in 2014. Silver Medal at the International Wine & Spirit Competition in 2013.
Owned by the King Car Group, the first Taiwanese distillery opened in 2002 in Yi-Lan province, north-eastern Taiwan. In order to release the best whisky with an inimitable style, they knew to surround themselves with the best experts.
The profile of Kavalan’s single malt is fruity, floral, fresh and subtle spicy. This is a result of using unsmoked malted barley from Scotland, as well as a particularly short heating time. Ian Chang, the master blender of the distillery, captures in the distillate the purest aromas that make Kavalan a great signature, with richness and elegance.
