Kavalan Whisky

Pioneering the art of Taiwanese single malt whisky since 2005. All this combines to create Kavalan’s signature creaminess.

Kavalan Distillery in Yilan County has been pioneering the art of single malt whisky in Taiwan since 2005. Our whisky, aged in intense humidity and heat, sources the meltwaters of Snow Mountain and is enhanced by sea and mountain breezes. Taking Yilan County’s old name, our distillery is backed by about 40 years of beverage-making under parent company, King Car Group. We have collected more than 700 gold awards or higher from the industry’s most competitive contests.

Kavalan 101: Chapter 2 — The Finishing Touch.

The whisky, the cocktail, now the final layer: food.

A seafood pesto salad with fresh basil, tender shrimp, and good olive oil echoes the herbal notes of Kavalan Distillery Select No.2 and the mint in the Forest Smash, while keeping everything light, bright, and refreshing on the palate.

A pairing that turns an ordinary Friday into something worth slowing down for.

Kavalan 101: Chapter 2 — The Forest.

Kavalan Distillery Select No.2, another great way to start your whisky journey.

It is smooth and gentle, floral and herbal, with a quiet complexity that unfolds the longer you sit with it, just like stepping into a tranquil forest and letting your eyes adjust.

Still approachable. Just a little more to discover.

Enjoy the Golden Hour Highball with Prosciutto e Melone.

Kavalan 101: Chapter 1 — The Classic.

Meet Kavalan Classic, the first single malt whisky born in Taiwan, and still the perfect place to begin.

Passionate amber in the glass, honeyed tropical fruits and florals on the nose, sweet mango and gentle spice on the palate, with vanilla and coconut that stay with you long after the last sip.

Easy to enjoy. Simply a really good pour.

The orchid doesn't just inspire the name — it lives in every sip.

Deep amber in the glass, LÁN blooms with floral and vanilla on the nose, unfolds into rich chocolate and caramel on the palate, and settles into a warm, spiced finish.

A whisky as layered as the flower it carries.

Some pairings surprise you.

Kavalan Solist ex-Bourbon Cask is refreshing and beautifully layered, with balanced floral vanilla tones and refined oak spices. Bacon-wrapped asparagus proves to be a match worth savoring.

Try it yourself and let us know!
If you have your own go-to pairing with Kavalan, we'd love to hear that too. Cheers!
