King Car distillery is located in Yilan County, Taiwan, and the single malt whisky produced there is named after the indigenous people who originally inhabited this northeastern corner of the island: the Kavalan.
Although the distillery was only brought on stream in 2005, the warm sub-tropical climate means that the whisky effectively matures more quickly and an impressive range of whiskies are available (now finally in the UK too!). This Kavalan Single Malt Whisky, for example was awarded a Gold Medal at the 2011 International Wine & Spirits Competition.
Fragrant and tropical fruits with floral notes, vanilla and mango.
There's mango throughout, spicy barley, gentle oak and creamy richness.
A touch of allspice, vanilla and fragrant pear skin.
Big surprise for me ... to find this whisky so gentle and different

#1 for awhile now for good reason
This was a pleasant surprise. Visiting Bangkok all the Scottish single malts were very expensive. As i am only here a short time I wanted a small bottle to avoid customs re-entering a Muslim country. The 20cc bottle at about 15 pounds fitted the bill. On opening you can smell the honey. It is quite sweet but not badly so. I added a small amount of water to lessen the intensity and it became a good evenings drink, quite acceptable. If I were thinking of buying something from the East I would always got for Nikon which I think is very good but being British (English/Scots) I usually stay in the UK for my whisky (although Penderyn is worth a mention).
It's actually pretty wonderful. Very first impression not overwhelming, but quickly revealed wonderfully fruity sweetness (nothing beats a Taiwan mango) and smoothness. Somehow this isn't cloying - it's just very quaffable indeed.
