As early as 2006, the island of Taiwan saw its country register on the world map among whiskey producers.
Under the leadership of the King Car group, the first Taiwanese distillery opened its doors in Yi-Lan province, in northeastern Taiwan, and is committed to producing, using the best experts in the industry, a whiskey with an inimitable style.
The fruity, floral, fresh and subtly spicy profile of its single malt, Kavalan owes it to the use of smoked malted barley from Scotland, as well as a particularly short toasting heart cut. Ian Chang, master blender of the distillery, captures in the distillate the purest aromas that make Kavalan a great signature, between richness and elegance.
Located in the northeast of Taiwan and cradled by a microclimate, Yi-Lan province offers a contrasting landscape, between green mountains and fertile plains. Protected by the Snow Moutains which peak at 3886 meters and crossed by the hazy influences of the Pacific, the site of the Kavalan distillery constantly enjoys freshness and ventilation conducive to the aging of the whiskey.
Where its elder shows the richness and gluttony of aging in different types of barrels, Distillery Select n ° 2 focuses on the liveliness and floral side resulting from the distillate and aging in new and ex-bourbon barrels.
AIKAN means "marriage" in Arawak, the language of the first inhabitants of Martinique. AIKAN is a meeting between two continents (Europe and America), two climates (continental and tropical), two worlds of spirits (whiskey and rum.)
After distillation in Scotland and three years of ageing, this whiskey continues to mature in the tropical climate of Martinique. Aging for two years ex cask of rum.
Whiskeys aged in these temperature and humidity conditions are very rare and recognized for their quality. If the angels are particularly greedy (10% evaporation per year, against 2% in a continental climate), they are also very generous. It is recognized that the concentration of aromas and therefore the maturation is about 4 times faster there.
