    Producer

    The Kavalan distillery, in the heart of Taiwan, is the fruit of a passion for the art of whisky making. Its unique location, nestled between the sea and the mountains, provides a subtropical climate ideal for crafting spirits with character. Every stage of production is meticulously controlled, from the selection of ingredients to cask maturation. Kavalan favors the use of oak casks that previously held fine wines, particularly port, to enrich its whiskies with subtle nuances. This attention to detail and pursuit of innovation make Kavalan a key player on the international whisky scene.

    Owner and history

    The Kavalan distillery is run by the King Car Group, founded by entrepreneur and visionary Mr. Yang. Since its inception, the group has been committed to producing superior whiskies, integrating modern techniques while respecting tradition. The owners firmly believe in the importance of terroir and the environment, which drives them to select only the finest ingredients. Their passion for excellence and innovation has propelled Kavalan to the ranks of the world's top whisky producers, winning numerous prestigious awards and solidifying its reputation.

    Vinification and aging

    The creation of Kavalan Port Cask begins with the selection of the finest grains and pure mountain water. Fermentation is carefully controlled to preserve the aromas. After distillation, the whisky is aged in port casks, a method that allows it to absorb rich and complex flavors. Taiwan's subtropical climate promotes rapid aging, intensifying the aromas in just a few years. Each cask is meticulously monitored, ensuring a perfect balance between smoothness and strength. This bold and innovative approach makes each bottle a true masterpiece.
