Kavalan Peatist ex-Bourbon Cask is a single cask strength malt crafted from premium peated barley and aged in select American bourbon casks. It balances refined wood spice, crisp vanilla and Kavalan's hallmark tropical richness. It is bottled at natural cask strength, non-chill filtered and with natural colour.

Kavalan Peatist ex-Bourbon Cask Tasting Notes

Nose: A wisp of peat opens, revealing layers of mango, banana and fragrant longan.
Palate: Velvety vanilla butter cake meets sweet tropical fruit, while warm oak and coconut achieve a balance.
Finish: Silky vanilla custard lingers, enhancing the smoky peat.

Why Choose Kavalan Peatist ex-Bourbon Cask?

Peated Kavalan is unusual, and the peat here is a supporting voice rather than the lead. It suits drinkers who want smoke without losing the tropical fruit the distillery is known for. Because each bottling is a single cask, strength and character vary slightly between releases. Kavalan recommends drinking it neat.

What Makes Kavalan Distillery Unique?

Kavalan Distillery is in Yilan, in north-eastern Taiwan. Its whiskies mature in a humid climate, which shapes how the spirit and the cask interact and contributes to the range's tropical fruit character. The distillery has also developed its own S.T.R. technique (shave, toast, rechar) to refresh wine casks, and its single malts have earned consistent recognition at international competitions.
