Description
Kavalan Sherry Oak weakens Solist Sherry with Kavalan spring water to 46% strength. It is anything but difficult to drink and could be an impeccable malt whiskey to share with loved ones on special events.
In 2002, Taiwan joined the World Trade Organization, which allowed the establishment of a privately owned distillery in Taiwan for the first time in modern history. Construction on the distillery began in early 2005 and was completed in only nine months. The vision for the whiskey was overseen by Master Blender Ian Chang in collaboration with world-renowned whiskey consultant Dr. Jim Swan.
The distillery is comprised of Scottish style copper pot stills from Scotland made by the Forsyths Company, as well as Holstein stills. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to protect it from the sub-tropical climate of Taiwan. Since its release in 2008, Kavalan has received dozens of international whiskey awards and titles, beating out traditional Scottish, American and Japanese brands, and causing a seismic shift in the world of whiskey and conversation about aging.
