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.
Process
Milling
The malt is crushed in a mill to expose the sugar. For example, before drinking coffee, you must grind the coffee beans. King Car Group has been making coffee for decades. We apply the same technique.
Mashing
The mashing process is the extraction of sugar from the solid malts into liquid by the addition of hot water. The sugary water is called “wort.” It is essential to reduce the temperature of the wort before the next process. If too hot, the yeast will be destroyed before fermentation takes place.

Great whisky. I get strong coconut and vanilla on the nose and a rich and sweet palate. Didn't expect much from Taiwan but I was proved wrong! Definitely will be buying this again.

The first time I purchased this was for my girlfriend, who is Taiwanese. As she likes whiskey I thought I would surprise her with a tipple from the Motherland.
Ended up finishing the bottle myself. Beautifully sweet flavour thanks to the port finish, followed by (what I have come to know as) Kavalan's signature strong bodied, distinct and intense after notes.
Will keep coming back to this again and again. Highly recommended.

fruity little number - its audacity amused me - somewhat reminiscent of autumnal berries readying for Christmas

A subtle whisky that does not have an afterburn. Certainly a great addition to any collection.
