Taiwanese whisky is whisky made in Taiwan. The most prominent Taiwanese whisky producer is the Kavalan Distillery. In 2015, the Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique was named the best single malt whisky in the world at the World Whiskies Awards. In 2025, the Kavalan Solist Fino Sherry Single Cask won the Whisky of the Year award at the International Whisky Competition. A significant whisky market, Taiwan is the fourth largest Scotch whisky market by value ($16 USD per capita), according to the Scotch Whisky Association. Additionally, unlike most international markets where blended whisky dominates, Taiwan's whisky landscape sees single malts as the leading category.

From the Japanese colonial period until 2002 the right to produce alcohol was a government monopoly held by the Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation (TTL). Following Taiwan's membership to the World Trade Organization in 2002, private companies other than TTL were allowed to produce alcoholic beverages. In 2005, FMCG conglomerate King Car Group founded Taiwan's first dedicated whisky distillery, Kavalan Distillery. In 2008, TTL established its own whisky brand, Omar, and released their first single malt whisky in 2013. In 2010, TTL also began producing single grain whisky at its Taichung Distillery facilities.

Taiwanese whisky first gained prominence in 2010 when a Taiwanese whisky beat three Scotches and an English whisky at Scotland's Burns Night. In 2015, the Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique was named the best single malt whisky in the world at the World Whiskies Awards.

Smaller craft whisky distilleries began emerging in the 2010s. In 2014, a Taiwanese contract manufacturer for distilled spirits established its own spirits brand, Bunnyville. In 2016, the multi-functional Holy Distillery was built in New Taipei City. In 2022, Maoweiki Distillery was established in Taoyuang. In 2024, ChiShang Distillery, located in Taitung, began constructions.

The Taiwanese government regulates alcoholic beverages broadly under the "Enforcement Rules of the Tobacco and Alcohol Administration Act", which defines Taiwanese whisky as "a distilled spirit produced from grain through malting, fermentation, and distillation, aged in wooden casks for a minimum of two years, with an alcohol content of no less than 40 percent."

In practice, the most prominent Taiwanese single malt whisky producers voluntarily hold themselves to the Scotch Whisky Association's whisky production regulations, adhering strictly to principles such as distilling entirely on-site and excluding the use of imported bulk spirits. In recent years, some distilleries have begun experimenting with specialty casks, such as lychee barrels, plum barrels, jasmine tea barrels, and honey barrels.

Due to Taiwan's subtropical climate, whisky matures two to three times as fast as it would in Scotland or Ireland. As a result, Taiwanese whisky that are produced in four to six years can potentially have a flavor profile comparable to a 12- to 18-year-old Scotch. Taiwanese whisky often has notes of subtropical fruit and in general has a creamy character, however, there is quite a bit of variation.

Kavalan Distillery is operated by the King Car Group, located in Yuanshan Township, Yilan County, Taiwan. Established in 2005, it is Taiwan's first whisky distillery, producing single malts exclusively, meaning all liquid in its products is derived exclusively from malted barley and produced entirely within Kavalan Distillery. The distillery takes its name from "Kavalan," the historical designation of the Yilan basin. In March 2006, the distillery produced its first new-make spirit, and in 2008, the distillery launched its first product, the Kavalan Classic.
