LAN is the Mandarin name for orchid with the character also appearing in both the names, Kavalan and Yilan.
Our port aged LAN whisky captures the delicate floral aromas of the King Car Honey Peach orchid, said Mr. Lee. It offers a sophisticated blend of vanilla and roasted nuts, enriched by our signature STR technique using Vinho wine casks, resulting in a smooth, fruity profile with layers of caramel sweetness.
Kavalans pioneering STR (shaving, toasting, and recharring) technique allows for deep penetration into the oak casks, unlocking the hidden flavors within.
Refreshing vanilla notes from bourbon barrels combine with the fusion of nutty, floral aromas from port casks. Further enriched by Kavalans STR technique, infusing the whisky with a caramelized fruity sweetness achieved through shaving, toasting, and recharring Vinho wine casks. Accentuated by dessert and nutty woody tones, it exudes an overall lightness and elegance, with a pure and constantly surprising aroma. Achieving a subtle balance among rich layers.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Refreshing floral and fruity aromas intertwined with creamy and chocolate notes, culminating in a lingering nutty and cinnamon woody fragrance.
Palate: Captivating orchid aromas blended with rose, jasmine, peony, and orange blossom scents combined with creamy vanilla, chocolate, caramel, honeydew melon, and fruit gummies. The finish has nut and cinnamon notes, evoking a distant forest.
