Tasting Notes

Nose

Tropical fruit, vanilla, a gentle warmth. The Kavalan tropical character is present in its most accessible form. Beneath the fruit, honey, a gentle warmth and a clean malt sweetness.

Palate

Tropical and smooth — mango, vanilla, a gentle warmth. The entry-level expression provides genuine Kavalan character at a democratic price. Mid-palate brings honey, a gentle sweetness and a clean warmth. At 40%, light but pleasant.

Finish

Short to medium, with tropical fruit and a gentle warmth.

Kavalan Distillery Select is the most accessible expression from Taiwan's most celebrated distillery — a blend of bourbon and sherry cask whiskies designed to showcase the Kavalan character at an entry-level price.

The tropical character is present but restrained at 40%. The blend provides a taste of what Kavalan achieves in its premium expressions without the higher investment.

Kavalan Distillery Select is the logical starting point for anyone curious about Taiwanese whisky. The quality is genuine, the price accessible, and the tropical character distinctive. A gateway to one of the world's most exciting distilleries.
