Frequently asked
Why is 15 YO Kavalan so rare?
Taiwan's tropical climate causes rapid angel's share evaporation (15%+ per year vs 2% in Scotland). A 15-year-old Kavalan means very little liquid remains from the original cask fill — genuinely rare and precious. Most Kavalans are much younger.
What are the four casks?
Kavalan doesn't publicly disclose the exact four cask types, but typically includes a combination of ex-bourbon, sherry (Oloroso or PX), wine casks (Vinho Barrique style), and specialty casks (potentially Port or brandy).
Is this a good investment?
Yes — aged Kavalan is genuinely rare given tropical maturation dynamics. The 15 YO's rarity plus international award pedigree drives strong secondary-market appreciation potential.
