A gracefully understated introduction to Taiwanese whisky, Kavalan Distillery Select is silky and fruit-forward. It balances tropical sweetness with elegant spice—an easy-drinking single malt that’s equally appealing neat or in cocktails.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Crafted in Yilan County, Taiwan, Kavalan harnesses high humidity and pure meltwater from Snow Mountain to accelerate maturation—and infuse its whiskies with vibrant character. Expression No.1 is aged in a selection of refill casks, allowing the distillery’s signature fruity profile to shine through unobstructed by heavy oak influence.

"Rich, dark toffee and nutmeg spice envelop this medium-bodied malt that could almost be a Speyside, elegantly displaying graham cracker, dried ginger, and a marine quality that hearkens back to the old world. The finish is dry and long." 93 Points, 2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge
