$144.99
Unlike the single cask, cask strength Solist series from Kavalan, The Lan Single Malt is bottled at 43%. Along with the lowered ABV comes a more affordable price. Canada was among the first countries to receive this new expression.
Producer Description
"Discover the essence of 'LÁN', an exceptional whisky crafted as a tribute to Yilan, the birthplace of Kavalan distillery. Its name, also symbolizing the Chinese character for 'orchid', beautifully reflects the island's revered standing as the Kingdom of Orchids. Refreshing vanilla notes from bourbon barrels combine with the fusion of nutty, floral aromas from port casks. Further enriched by Kavalan's STR technique, infusing the whisky with a caramelized fruity sweetness achieved through shaving, toasting, and recharring Vinho wine casks. Accentuated by dessert and nutty woody tones, it exudes an overall lightness and elegance, with a pure and constantly surprising aroma. Achieving a subtle balance among rich layers, Kavalan proudly presents the masterpiece – 'LÁN'."
