About this spirit
Kavalan Distillery
Founded in 2005 and located in the Yi-Lan province near the Snow Mountains, Kavalan is Taiwan's pioneer whisky distillery. Positioned on a site with an abundance of pure spring water and fresh air, Kavalan benefits from a unique microclimate that accelerates the ageing process of their whiskies compared with their Scottish counterparts. By mastering this tropical ageing technique, Kavalan is able to produce an array of smooth, sophisticated single malts. The distillery is also known for its innovative use of a variety of cask types, resulting in a diverse and intricate flavour profile that has earned Taiwan a prominent place on the global whisky stage.

Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
