Kavalan Solist ex-Bourbon Single Cask Strength is a delightfully complex and multi-dimensional single malt whisky — matured in hand-selected fresh American ex-Bourbon casks and bottled at cask strength, non chill-filtered, to retain the fuller flavour of a natural single malt whisky. Luminous pale amber in colour, with clean and fresh tropical fruitiness, pleasant vanilla, coconut, and spices on the nose, and a well-balanced palate of natural sweetness, vanilla, and oak spices that is round, complex, and silky smooth. Kavalan at its most expressive and uncompromised.

Appearance

Luminous pale amber — the bright, natural colour of a single cask strength whisky bottled without chill filtration, preserving every element of the cask’s character and the distillery’s tropical fruit signature.

Aroma

Clean and fresh tropical fruitiness leads an inviting and expressive bouquet, with pleasant vanilla, coconut, and spices adding the warmth and complexity that hand-selected ex-Bourbon casks deliver at their finest.

Palate

Well-balanced natural sweetness, vanilla, and oak spices — round, complex, and silky smooth, with the fuller flavour that only cask strength, non chill-filtered bottling can preserve. A single malt of genuine depth, multi-dimensional character, and the unmistakable tropical fruit and coconut highlights that define Kavalan’s Solist series.

Serving Suggestions

Neat to appreciate the full cask strength character, or with a small drop of water to open the vanilla and tropical fruit notes — non chill-filtered whiskies of this quality reward patience and exploration. Not recommended over ice, which will close the aromatics.

Production Notes

Kavalan Solist ex-Bourbon is matured in hand-selected fresh American ex-Bourbon casks — chosen for the vanilla, coconut, and natural sweetness they impart to Kavalan’s already expressive tropical fruit character. Bottled at cask strength and non chill-filtered, retaining the fuller flavour of a natural single malt whisky in its most honest and uncompromised form. Kavalan sources the mineral-rich meltwaters of Snow Mountain and ages its whisky in a unique combination of intense heat and humidity together with sea and mountain breezes — conditions that accelerate maturation and create the quality, smoothness, and fruity character for which Kavalan is celebrated the world over.

Producer History

Kavalan has been pioneering the art of single malt whisky in Yilan County, Taiwan, since 2005 — taking its name from Yilan’s old name, a land of blessings where entrepreneur Mr. Tien-Tsai Lee dreamed of a new whisky homeland and a century-old distillery to last generations. His ambition to create Taiwan’s first whisky took him across the old world to the sacred distilleries of Scotland and Japan — knowing that to compete, Taiwan must be world-class, and testing every sinew of his resolve to achieve it. Backed by King Car Group and its more than 40 years of beverage experience, and bringing together a highly skilled R&D team that carries on the legacy of renowned whisky specialist the late Dr. Jim Swan, Kavalan has fulfilled that vision — and then some.
