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.
