Kavalan Lan Single Malt Taiwanese Whisky
In stock
Kavalan Lan is a harmonious blend of whiskies matured in bourbon, port, and wine casks. Created as an homage to Yilan—the birthplace of Kavalan whisky—this expression draws its name from the Chinese character “Lan,” meaning orchid, a nod to the region's distinction as the Kingdom of Orchids.
The whisky opens with rich vanilla notes from bourbon barrels, layered with warm spice—cinnamon and clove—alongside delicate floral aromas from port casks. Kavalan’s signature wine cask influence adds a vibrant, fruit-forward character that brings depth and balance. The result is a whisky of exceptional complexity and refinement, best savored neat.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Radiant deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm honey glow.
Nose
Opulent vanilla from bourbon barrels opens the aroma, spiced with cinnamon and clove. Delicate floral notes from port casks mingle with a bright, fruit-forward lift from wine casks, giving a refined, multi-layered fragrance.
Palate
On the palate, vanilla from bourbon coats the mouth, then warm cinnamon and clove spice unfold. Delicate floral notes from the port casks mingle with a vibrant, fruit-forward wine-cask character, adding brightness and depth. A silky texture and balanced sweetness lead to a refined, lingering finish.
Finish
Silky, lingering finish of vanilla and warm spice, carried by port- and wine-cask fruit that slowly fades into orchard-fruit sweetness. A refined touch of oak and spice lingers, leaving a polished, warm reverberation.
