Frequently asked
Distillery Select No. 2 vs No. 1 — what's the difference?
No. 2 has richer cask character and more expressive flavour development than No. 1. If No. 1 is the accessible introduction, No. 2 is the more characterful entry — deeper, warmer, more expressive.
Why does Kavalan mature so fast?
Taiwan's subtropical climate (warm, humid) accelerates the interaction between whisky and cask. Angel's share (evaporation) can reach 15%+ per year vs 2% in Scotland. Whisky develops much faster — a young Kavalan often has aged-Scotch character depth.
How should I serve it?
Neat in a tulip glass at room temperature is best. A few drops of water enhance the aromatics. Also works as a premium Taiwanese highball.
