Kavalan 15th Anniversary Ex-Bourbon Cask Strength

Kavalan 15th Anniversary Ex-Bourbon Cask Strength is a Taiwanese single malt whiskey, distilled in 2009 and bottled at 50% alcohol by volume (ABV). Matured for over 15 years in hand-selected American ex-bourbon barrels, this limited release celebrates Kavalan's artistry and heritage, offering a complex, layered flavor profile at natural cask strength.

What makes it special is its non-chill-filtered presentation, preserving the whiskey's full texture and authentic character. The long maturation in bourbon casks imparts rich vanilla, tropical fruit, and subtle coconut notes, while balancing sweetness and depth, highlighting Kavalan's reputation for world-class single malts.

The profile is indulgent yet refined, with a luminous, deep amber color and a palate that unfolds like a dessert feast.

It pairs beautifully with roasted almonds, buttery pastries, and creamy desserts, making it a celebratory choice for collectors and connoisseurs.
