Classic Single Malt Whisky 750ml

The release that started it all in 2008, Kavalan Single Malt Whisky launched Kavalan Whisky into international fame and has continued to cast a spell of splendor to this day. This memorable quaff is bottled after only a year in distillery American oak casks, highlighting the way Kavalan takes the utmost advantage of its home in the tropical Taiwanese climate – a climate that speeds up the aging process and allows for the brand's iconic aged flavor with less time in the cask/barrel. Composed of a mash bill containing 100% malted barley, this NAS select single malt is bottled at 40% ABV and is a markedly favored offering from Kavalan Whisky.

About the brand

World-renowned Kavalan Distillery in Yilan County, Taiwan, has been taking the whisky community by storm since 2005. This distinct single malt distillery sources mineral-rich melt waters from the beautiful and rugged Snow Mountain and uses a combination of the natural humidity, climate, and altitude of its surroundings to create highly coveted, superior quality single malt Scotch. Founded by Mr. Tien-Tsai Lee, the brand has come to be known for its exceptional distillation and finishing, offering a truly smooth sipping experience every time. Mr. T.T. Lee's dream to launch Taiwan's first whisky lured him across the old world, learning the long-standing techniques of authentic Scotch making from masters in Scotland and Japan. To compete, T.T. Lee knew his brand would have to be more than just another Scotch - it would have to be world-class from nose to finish. Kavalan Distillery carries on this dream and ambition, bringing together an expert R&D team that leans into the mastery of a renowned whisky specialist, the late Dr. Jim Swan. With the support of international conglomerate King Car Group, Kavalan Distillery is bound to become a legend in its own right, both in its native Taiwan and throughout the world.

Frootbat Reviews - What our customers say

Ratings & Reviews (1)

Tonight’s dram takes be back to Taiwan (virtually) to the state-owned Kavalan / King Car distillery for their Classic Single Malt. It opens with tropical fruit medley, mango, vanilla, and caramel, soon joined by cinnamon, malt, and orange marmalade, and finally, green pear and butterscotch. The light oily mouthfeel and thick legs provide a medium-long finish of citrus oils, butterscotch, and slightly unripe fruits – providing a mild bitterness to offset the sweet. It is a balanced dram – not particularly unique, but quite enjoyable. Drink slow, drink long, drink a variety, drink often.
