The charm of Kavalan Solist is winning the hearts & souls around the world.

If you have not heard of Kavalan yet, get ready for us to blow your Whisky-loving mind. That’s because Kavalan Distillery is located on the island of… Taiwan. And this relative newcomer to the pantheon of Single Malt deities is kicking serious Single Malt butt — winning awards and beating some of the most famous Whiskies in blind taste tests. Even Jim Murray himself has become a fan. Kavalan was founded in 2005 by Mr. Tien-Tsai Lee and is now owned by Taiwan’s King Car Group. They have developed a range of eighteen Single Malt offerings and all of them are uhmmm... Azing!

So, been looking for something exciting in the world of whisky lately for your Homebar upgrade? Look no further than the Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique. It has won more than a dozen international awards! Fully matured in both red and white wine re-toasted casks and bottled at cask strength by King Car Distillery, this bottle is living proof that Taiwanese Whisky is becoming more than a force to reckon with. Give this bad boy a year or two—it just might unseat the legendary Pappy Van Winkle.

The two biggest Whisky producers in Japan and major rivals are Nikka and Suntory.  
The distillery used hybrid stills until 2006, which were discontinuous stills, with pot stills on the bottom and a short column on top.
Danish malted rye didn’t exist before Stauning started making it.
The King Car Group also works with coffee, they really emphasize the importance of grinding it, so they give the same importance to the grinding of barley in the Whisky distillery.
When Stauning was being founded, the bank told them to open a bakery instead.
The distillery receives 1 million visitors per year, 30% of which are foreign tourists.
