Kavalan Sherry Cask (Cask Strength Edition)
(0.75l, 58.6%)
Exquisite and exclusive Spirit of Taiwan.
Kavalan is one of the two biggest Spirit names in Taiwan (next to Omar), and it's Taiwan's first Whisky-maker and its only family-owned distillery. Kavalan is the old name of Yilan county where the maker is located. Established in 2005 and employing highly-skilled folks, they found the best place to make Whisky: the subtropical island with the purest water and freshest air. Add the world-class Master Blender Ian Chang, and you got yourself a jackpot.
Now this specimen is quite special as only 484 bottles were made. It's bottled at cask strength (58.6% ABV) and it was matured in barrels that used to hold Sherry. Born embraced by nature, the Whisky is complex and multi-layered with exquisite aromas and flavors that would make many Scottish cousins blush.
