The name 'Kavalan' originates from the indigenous name for the Yilan region. The distillery is located in the Lanyang Plain, backed by the Central and Xueshan mountain ranges, providing access to exceptionally pure water. As the brand's foundation, Kavalan Classic challenged traditional industry concepts. While Scottish whiskies often require decades to mature, Taiwan's high summer temperatures and humidity accelerate the interaction between wood and spirit, a process known as 'Rapid Maturation.'
This unique climate allows Kavalan Classic to extract rich esters and tropical fruit flavors in a shorter period. The whisky is a blend of various casks, including Bourbon casks for creamy vanilla, Sherry casks for layers of dried fruit, and Refill casks for pure fruitiness. This precise 'Art of Blending' is strictly managed by the professional team to ensure consistent high quality in every bottle.
Since its launch in 2008, Kavalan Classic has swept numerous medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC) and the World Whiskies Awards (WWA), proving the excellence of Taiwanese distilling to the world. Whether enjoyed neat, over ice, or as a cocktail base, this whisky demonstrates perfect balance and a rich tropical island spirit.
