Kavalan Distillery Select No.1 Single Malt Whisky [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Taiwanese single malt that rivals Scotland’s finest without the hefty price tag?

As a certified spirits specialist at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store, I can confidently say that Kavalan Distillery Select No.1 Single Malt Whisky represents exceptional value in the premium whisky category. This Taiwan-crafted expression benefits from subtropical maturation, which accelerates aging and creates a remarkably smooth profile. While exploring Kavalan’s range, you’ll find this sits beautifully between the Distillery Select No.2 and the more intense Solist Ex-Bourbon Cask expressions.

• Distillery: Kavalan – established 2005 in Yilan County, Taiwan’s first whisky distillery
• Region: International (Taiwan) – humid subtropical climate accelerates maturation
• ABV: 40% – approachable strength that doesn’t compromise complexity
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: American oak and sherry cask marriage
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals vanilla cream and tropical mango. Palate delivers creamy malt, honeyed sweetness, and subtle coconut notes. Finish is clean with lingering orchard fruit
• Best Served: Neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, or with a splash of water

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor have found this expression offers remarkable smoothness for its age, with the subtropical maturation creating fruit-forward complexity typically found in older Scotch malts.

Ideal for: Chinese New Year gifting, corporate appreciation gifts, or starting a premium whisky collection. Pairs with: Rich Malaysian cuisine like char siu, roasted duck, or salted egg prawns where its sweetness balances savory umami. Recommended for: Both whisky newcomers and collectors seeking variety—consider the King Car Conductor for your next bottle at RM 275.
