Kavalan
For several years, King Car has made a name for itself in the international whisky world. The KAVALAN distillery, opened in 2005 in the Yilan region, was the first independent distillery to produce high-quality single malts that delight connoisseurs around the globe. Since 2013, these whiskies have finally been available in Austria as well.
KAVALAN is the traditional name of the Yilan region and its indigenous people. The KAVALAN distillery is located in this very region, about an hour’s drive southeast of the capital, Taipei. One of the main reasons for choosing this location is the excellent water quality. Yilan is renowned far beyond Taiwan’s borders for its numerous natural springs, which provide light, sweet water.
