TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Kavalan is Taiwan’s first whisky maker and the nation’s only family-owned whisky distillery. The name comes from the old name of Yilan where the distillery is located.

Kavalan has made several headlines in international media and also received five Platinum Awards at the international Review of Spirits.

Most recently it also received the International Wine & Spirit Competition Worldwide Whiskey Trophy 2017 and the International Spirits Challenge Trophy for two consecutive years.
