Description
Kavalan Lán
Taiwan's Kavalan created this single malt as a tribute to its birthplace in Yilan County. The Mandarin symbol for Lán means 'orchid', and this whisky showcases a delightfully floral profile thanks to maturation in a combo of bourbon barrels, Port casks, and STR (shaved, toasted, and re-charred) Vinho wine casks. With waves of fresh vanilla, floral red fruit sweetness, and roasted, caramelised nuts, it's an impressive addition to the Kavalan core range.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose - Citrus blossom, floral tea, and vanilla pods open the way for notes of chocolatey malt, candied nuts, woody spice, and hints of Wine Gums.
Palate - Biscuity malt, forest fruits, cinnamon sticks, and chocolate-coated cherries, with hazelnut cream and rich oak char beneath.
Finish - Dark spices, caramelised nuts, layers of vinous oak, and a touch of pepper.
