Kavalan Single Malt Whisky in Yilan Taiwan

In Yilan County, Taiwan, plan on having a drink? Let’s try going to Kavalan, a place where whisky is made by the King Car Group. What? King Car Group, making premium whisky? You would be thinking that they are just car manufacturers. Yet they are on Whisky Magazine, Kavalan Distillery 2011 World Icons of Whisky for Whisky Visitor Attraction of the Year. You won’t believe it, let us have a tour to this place.



When you enter, they would be some introduction about the process and items display for the process. Look at the huge barrels! They also have other introductions about types of malts for Irish Whisky, Scottish Whisky, American Whisky and etc.




Look at all the machinery for the process. Really huge. Distillation process. To us, it’s all weird looking huge containers and giant look alike bottles. On the way, you could see their super huge warehouse where they keep all the barrels for the processing, hundreds of barrels all kept. Check out the barrels!!







 And finally, before reaching end of the tour of a whisky factory, of course the most important part is whisky tasting time. There is a hall, filled with long tables and benches. After your interesting tour in the factory, you will get to taste a cuppa Kavalan with some ice. The liquid looks clear and looks like light gold color but comes with a strong fragrant. Looks like apple cider but much more beautiful.


Then, off to their merchandise shop, bottles of whisky all over and yet I found this, Coffee fiber cookies comes with Whisky flavor. Anyone care for a cookie?
