Kavalan Ex-Bourbon Oak Single Malt Whisky 750mL is a refined Taiwanese single malt that captures the pure essence of Kavalan’s craftsmanship and the influence of first-fill American oak. Distilled in Yilan, Taiwan, and matured exclusively in ex-bourbon casks, this expression highlights bright vanilla, tropical fruit, and honeyed oak flavors that have become the signature of the Kavalan house style.

Bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV) and non-chill filtered for maximum flavor, Kavalan Ex-Bourbon Oak Single Malt delivers a velvety mouthfeel and remarkable balance. The warm, humid climate of Taiwan accelerates the aging process, allowing the whisky to develop deep complexity and a smooth, elegant finish that rivals much older single malts from traditional regions.
