Kavalan Classic 1 Litre

Kavalan Classic was the first whisky released by Taiwan's Kavalan Distillery on 4 December 2008, and remains a classic entry-level expression in the brand's range. The distillery began production in 2006, while the distinctive tall, rectangular bottle design was inspired by Taipei 101, one of Taiwan's most recognisable landmarks.

The whisky is created by combining spirits matured in different types of casks, including American Oak, Ex-Bourbon, Sherry and Wine Casks. Located in Yilan, the distillery uses water sourced from the Snow Mountain range. The region's warm and humid subtropical climate also accelerates the interaction between the whisky and oak, creating maturation conditions distinct from those in cooler regions such as Scotland.
