Kavalan 15th Anniversary Ex-Bourbon Cask Single Malt Whisky

A Rare 15-Year-Old Taiwanese Single Malt with Bourbon Influence

Crafted to celebrate Kavalan’s 15th anniversary, this single vintage release was aged in carefully selected ex-bourbon casks for over 15 years, allowing the whiskey to develop a smooth, rounded profile with deep layers of vanilla, tropical fruit, and subtle spice. Distilled in 2009, this limited-edition Taiwanese single malt is non-chill filtered and bottled at cask strength, preserving its full-bodied complexity and depth of character.
