Product description
The Kavalan brand debuted in 2008 and immediately won the hearts of whisky connoisseurs around the world. The producer of the drink is the Yuan Shan Distillery, built in 2005-2006 in northern Taiwan.
The humid and hot climate of the island accelerates the maturation of distillates, but significantly increases the so-called angel's share, even up to 12% per year. The incredible success of Kavalan encouraged the owners in 2015 to increase production capacity from 1.5 to 4.5 million liters. Just two years later, in 2017, the number of stills was already 20, and the distillation potential was up to 9 million liters of alcohol per year. King Car Conductor whisky bears the name of the distillery's owner (King Car Company) and is not formally offered as Kavalan whisky. The distillates used in this edition were aged in sherry and bourbon barrels.
