Kavalan Gin
Distilled Gin
Kavalan // Taiwan
After 10 years of making whisky, Kavalan master blender Ian Chang wanted to try his hand at creating a gin.
Staying true to the standard botanicals of juniper, aniseed and coriander, Chang also included a taste of Yilan—Kavalan's home— with kumquat peel, dried star fruit and red-flesh guava botanical extracts.

Tasting Notes
"This Kavalan Gin opens up on very nutty and rooty notes, with angelica, almond, hazelnut paste, before juniper and aniseed get any say. It is chocolate-y almost. The palate makes way for a whisper of vanilla and honeysuckle, and it is slightly resinous with notes of kumquat and other citrus."
