Only 3,000 bottles of each whisky have been produced for worldwide distribution.

“At Kavalan we have always sought excellence as a foundation for our whisky as we look into the future and work toward our goal of becoming, what in Taiwan we call a ‘century-old distillery’, which is a brand capable of thriving even after hundreds of years.” said Kavalan CEO YT Lee.
