Taiwan’s Kavalan Distillery has launched its first whisky in tribute to its birthplace, Yilan County, across select markets around the globe.

Available for export, LÁN is the Mandarin name for orchid with the character also appearing in both the names, Kavalan and Yilan.

The first phase of the launch will include markets across the EU, Cambodia, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong SAR, and Canada. A second wave will soon follow, bringing LÁN to all other countries where Kavalan is currently exported, ensuring whisky lovers everywhere can experience this unique expression.

Y. T. Lee, Kavalan CEO shared his inspiration behind the floral whisky, which draws from the award-winning “King Car Peach” orchid, exclusively cultivated by Kavalan’s parent company, King Car.

“Our port-aged LÁN Whisky captures the delicate floral aromas of the King Car Peach orchid,” said Lee. “It offers a sophisticated blend of vanilla and roasted nuts, enriched by our signature STR technique using Vinho wine casks, resulting in a smooth, fruity profile with layers of caramel sweetness.”
