Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique
Kavalan · Yilan
A single-cask Taiwanese single malt from Yilan, matured in wine barriques and bottled at cask strength. Heat and humidity age the spirit faster than in Scotland, which is why these taste older than the years on a calculator suggest. Strength is specific to the cask.
