At the heart of Kavalan’s inaugural gin is a rare malt spirit, made from Taiwan’s purest water source. Triple-distilled and double charcoal-filtered for a luxuriously mellow mouth-feel, this Taiwanese gin is an elegant expression of the subtropical land of Yilan and nature’s bounty. Eight specially selected botanical extracts, including tangy kumquat, luscious starfruit, and sweet red flesh guava, give this exceptionally fine gin its delicious aromatic complexity.
ABV : 40%
The Producer
KAVALAN
Kavalan Distillery has been pioneering the art of single malt whisky in Yilan County, Taiwan since 2005. Kavalan sources the mineral-rich meltwaters of Snow Mountain and is aged in a unique combination of intense heat and humidity together with sea and mountain breezes. All this combines to create the quality, smoothness, and fruity character for which Kavalan is known.
Kavalan takes Yilan County's old name. A land of blessings, it was here that entrepreneur Mr. Tien-Tsai Lee dreamed of a new whisky homeland and a ‘century-old’ distillery to last generations.
Mr. T.T. Lee’s ambition to create Taiwan’s first whisky took him across the old world to the sacred distilleries of Scotland and Japan. He knew to compete, Taiwan must be world-class, and this tested every sinew of his resolve.
Kavalan brings together a highly skilled R&D team which takes on the legacy of renowned whisky specialist, the late Dr. Jim Swan. It is backed by King Car Group and its more than 40 years of beverage experience and knowledge.
