Kavalan distillery () is the first and only Taiwanese whisky distillery. It is owned by the King Car Group, and is located at Yuanshan (), a rural township in the western part of Yilan County, Taiwan. ==History== The distillery is named after the Kavalan people, indigenous natives who originally inhabited the Kabalan Plain of modern-day Yilan County. The distillery was completed in December 2005, produced its first spirit in March 2006, and released its first bottling in December 2008. Soon afterwards, in January 2010, one of the distillery's products caused a stir by beating three Scotch whiskies and one English whisky in a blind tasting organised in Leith, Scotland, to celebrate Burns Night. The distillery has since been named by ''Whisky Magazine'' as the World Icons of Whisky "Whisky Visitor Attraction of the Year" for 2011, and its products have won several other awards. In 2012, Kavalan’s Solist Fino Sherry Cask malt whisky was named "new whisky of the year" by Jim Murray in his guide, ''Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible'' In 2015, Kavalan's Vinho Barrique expression was named the world's best single malt whisky by World Whiskies Awards. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kavalan distillery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
