LAN is Kavalan's tribute to its home of Yilan - the name also means "orchid" in Chinese, a nod to Taiwan's reputation as the Kingdom of Orchids. It brings together whisky from ex-bourbon casks, port casks and Kavalan's signature STR (shaved, toasted and re-charred) wine barriques for an elegant, floral and gently sweet single malt. Nose: Orchid, rose, jasmine and orange blossom over creamy vanilla, caramel, chocolate and honeydew melon. Palate: Floral and fruity, with creamy chocolate, dark berries and a nutty, cinnamon-spiced woodiness. Finish: Medium-long, with nuts, cinnamon and soft oak. Distillery: Kavalan, Yilan County, Taiwan. Casks: Ex-bourbon, port and STR wine barriques. ABV: 43%. 700ml.
