"Kavalan" is the old name of Yilan. The Kavalan Distillery was born on Taiwan, this beautiful island, in the Lanyang Plain where mountains and sea converge. The distillery's stills are crafted from copper, which removes sulfides produced during fermentation. During distillation, the heart cut is carefully selected, creating a new make spirit with rich floral and fruity aromas and a smooth mouthfeel. After distillation, the new make undergoes maturation, absorbing various natural aromas through the baptism of oak barrels, producing a beautiful amber hue, while the alcohol strength gradually decreases over time, making the taste more mellow. Before bottling, the blended whiskey is filtered to remove impurities, creating a whiskey that is both distinctive and representative of the distillery's character.

Proper lush dram 🥃 Big chocolate and coffee vibes, with prunes, blackberry jam and a bit of walnut liqueur. Lovely silky mouthfeel, savoury edge, wee touch of lemongrass. Finish goes all tobacco, dark choc and coffee. Really cosy stuff.

Ahh, this dram's got a real nice nose on it – bit of smoke, some toffee, maybe a hint of green apple. 🍎 On the palate, it’s smooth as anything, with that classic oaky warmth. Got a long, spicy finish that just lingers. Quite enjoyabel really! 😌 Fruity undertones come through after a sip, like dried figs or summat. Not too harsh, perfect for a quiet evening. 🥃 The texture's creamy, almost buttery – reminds me of a cozy pub by the fire. Defo a winner in my book. 🔥

A real nice dram, that one. Smooth and warming, with a touch of honey and a bit of smoke. Quite lovely for a quiet evening. 😋 Sometimes it's a bit oaky, but overall, a proper treat. 🥃
