Kavalan Distillery Select NO.2 70 CL 40%

Single Malt Whisky – Taiwan

This exciting new whiskey from Taiwan’s popular Kavalan distillery is the second release in their Entry-Level Distillery Select Series. It is a sweet and light seasoned whiskey that brings notes of butterscotch, freshly greased toast, vanilla and hints of black pepper and cinnamon. This is all delivered with a smoothness that can only be created by well-educated, knowledgeable distillers, and those at Kavalan have recently proven that they are just that.

Rich, smoky and seasoned
Aroma: Mature Starfruit, Melon, Cinnamon, Nutmean, Cherry, Jasmine and Pound Cake
Taste: same as aromas with shades of leather, honey, spice days, sesame, dried fig and smoked tea.

Kavalan burst onto the whiskey scene with its first whiskey in 2008. In no time the distillery in Taiwan has become world famous. The tropical climate with the towering temperatures in the warehouses (easily 42 degrees!) means that the whiskey matures quickly and acquires the taste, depth and complexity of the much older whiskey. The “angel’s share” – the amount of whiskey that evaporates per year – is almost never below 10-12% (versus around 3% in Scotland) and in some years can reach 15%!

Since Taiwan is a country completely without a whiskey tradition, Kavalan can see himself free from having to weave a nostalgic narrative about old craftsmanship and tradition. On the contrary, they are refreshingly proud of being a state-of-the-art, industrial distillery. In fact, after an expansion in 2016, it is one of the world’s 10 largest whiskey distilleries! And the whiskey is superb. In particular, Kavalan is known for its sherry bombs, heavy and full-bodied whiskey with oceans of flavour, power and depth.
