Kavalan Solist Ex-bourbon Cask Single Malt Whisky [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Taiwanese whisky that delivers exceptional bourbon cask character at an accessible strength?

As a certified spirits specialist at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store, I can confidently say the Kavalan Solist Ex-bourbon Cask Single Malt Whisky represents one of Taiwan’s finest expressions. This Premium single malt showcases ex-bourbon cask maturation in Kavalan’s subtropical climate, which accelerates the aging process and creates remarkably rich flavors in less time than traditional Scottish distilleries. While collectors often seek the Kavalan King Car Conductor, this Solist expression offers focused bourbon cask intensity that rivals the complexity found in Kavalan Distillery Select No. 2.

• Distillery: Kavalan Distillery, Taiwan – established 2005, Taiwan’s first whisky distillery
• Region: Yilan County – high humidity and warmth create accelerated maturation
• ABV: 40% – smooth, approachable strength that highlights vanilla and tropical fruit notes
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Ex-bourbon American oak casks in subtropical climate
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals coconut cream, vanilla custard, and ripe mango. Palate delivers creamy butterscotch, tropical fruits, and gentle oak spice. Finish is medium-length with lingering vanilla sweetness and subtle pepper.
• Best Served: Neat in a Glencairn glass at room temperature, or with a splash of mineral water to open aromatics

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor have found this expression particularly approachable for bourbon lovers transitioning to single malts. The subtropical aging creates deeper caramelization than you’d expect at this price point of RM 465, making it exceptional value compared to the Kavalan Distillery Select No. 1.

Ideal for: Chinese New Year gifting, corporate appreciation gifts, or adding Asian whisky representation to your collection. Pairs with: Char siu’s caramelized glaze, beef rendang’s coconut richness, or salted egg prawns’ savory sweetness. Recommended for: Bourbon enthusiasts exploring world whiskies and collectors seeking award-winning Taiwanese spirits with Malaysia-wide delivery.
