Kavalan 2009 Single Oloroso Cask #018 75cl / 15th Anniversary

Kavalan distillery is part of the King Car group in Taiwan, and was the first whisky distillery in the country. The group's founder, TT Lee, was a huge fan of Glenlivet single malt and was inspired to try and replicate it in his home nation, enlisting the help of the legendary Dr. Jim Swan, known by many as "the Einstein of whisky." The distillery takes its name from the indigenous Kavalan people of Taiwan's Kabalan Plain, and opened in December 2005. It produced its first spirit in 2006, and its first single malt bottling in 2008. Within just four years it was already receiving international acclaim, receiving a number of prestigious awards over the years.

This Kavalan was distilled in January 2009 and matured in single Spanish Oloroso cask #018. It was bottled in April 2024 as one of a handful of single-cask bottlings produced to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the distillery. Presented in a matte decanter alongside a branded nosing glass and coaster.

One of 261 bottles.
