Kavalan Lán Single Malt Whisky | Taiwanese Floral Single Malt

Step into a captivating new dimension of Taiwanese distilling with Kavalan LÁN Single Malt Whisky. Created at the world-renowned Kavalan Distillery in Yilan County, Taiwan, LÁN (the Mandarin word for "orchid") serves as a magnificent tribute to Yilan’s native flora, its fertile valley environment, and King Car Group’s historic legacy of botanical research. Meticulously crafted for single malt purists, lovers of complex floral profiles, and fine spirit collectors, this expression showcases an unprecedented level of cask marrying and blending harmony.

Kavalan LÁN undergoes a complex multi-cask maturation, uniting ex-bourbon barrels, Portuguese port casks, and Kavalan's signature STR-treated American oak wine casks (shaved, toasted, and re-charred). Under the intense heat and high humidity of Yilan's subtropical climate, the mineral-rich meltwater from the nearby Snow Mountain range marries with deep wood sugars. Bottled at an approachable 43% ABV, non-chillfiltered, and displaying a stunning deep amber hue, Kavalan LÁN delivers an extraordinary sensory journey brimming with white florals, creamy vanilla, fruit gummies, milk chocolate, and toasted wood spice.

The Pinnacle of Yilan Botanical Heritage & STR Cask Mastery

A Floral & STR Cask Masterpiece: By pairing vanilla-rich bourbon oak and dark berry port casks with STR wine barrique caramelization, Kavalan creates an extraordinarily expressive floral single malt. Encased in a bespoke presentation box featuring elegant orchid motifs, LÁN stands out as a highly collectible addition to any premium whisky collection or luxury home bar.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma / Nose: Fragrant, floral, and deeply captivating. Native orchid blossom, rose petals, jasmine, peony, and orange blossom scents open the bouquet, followed by creamy vanilla, butterscotch, honeydew melon, and sweet fruit gummies.
• Palate / Flavour: Rich, silky, and elegantly balanced. Lush floral notes intertwine with poached pear, milk chocolate, caramel, and candied citrus peel, merging effortlessly with soft wood vanillin and gentle toasted spices.
• Finish: Medium-to-long, warming, and comforting. It finishes with enduring notes of roasted nuts, cinnamon bark, soft cocoa, and a delicate trail of distant forest oak.

Sip Kavalan LÁN Single Malt Whisky neat to dissect its multi-cask botanical bouquet, serve over a clear ice sphere, or pair it with artisan dark chocolate and fresh summer berries.
