Taiwan's First Malt Whisky Distillery

King Car Group’s Kavalan Distillery in Yilan, Taiwan marks its
20th anniversary this year. Kavalan has won numerous awards for
its single malts, including the “World’s Best Single Malt” in the
World Whisky Awards. We’ll talk with Kavalan’s David Chen about
the distillery’s history and its growing global following on this
week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, the European Union
delays a return to tariffs on American whiskies until mid-April,
while Laphroaig Distillery is undergoing repairs after a pressure
issue with a boiler led to a loud “bang” that had Ileachs fearing
an explosion.
