"Surprise, surprise. This is like the school's best pitcher, who then steps onto the football team and throws for a game-winning touchdown. This is a whole new side to Kavalan. Remember Faith No More doing “Easy”? Having out-sherried and out-bourboned us with kickass rock-n-roll whisky, Kavalan goes for gentle and creamy, with vanilla and honey. The coup de grace? Apple pie and cream morph into licorice and menthol. Exquisite."
About This Whisky
Kavalan Ex-Bourbon Oak Single Malt Whisky is matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 46% ABV. The whisky is produced by reducing the cask-strength Solist ex-Bourbon whisky with Kavalan spring water, highlighting the distillery’s signature fruity character alongside creamy vanilla and gentle oak influence.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Fresh tropical fruits with notes of vanilla and coconut.
Palate: Natural sweetness with creamy vanilla, coconut and soft oak spice.
Finish: Smooth, balanced and lingering with gentle sweetness.
About the Distillery
Kavalan Distillery has been pioneering the art of single malt whisky in Yilan County, Taiwan, since 2005. Using mineral-rich spring water from Snow Mountain and matured in Taiwan’s intense heat and humidity with sea and mountain breezes, Kavalan whiskies develop their signature smoothness and distinctive fruity character. The distillery was founded by entrepreneur Mr. T.T. Lee under the King Car Group, combining decades of beverage expertise with whisky research led by the late Dr. Jim Swan.
