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.
First impression wasn't great, but after a second try I'm glad I bought it. You can smell the mango on the nose, and the palate is pretty good - though not overly complex. I'd give it a shot if you had the chance.
Many a better single malt (and a lot more expensive to be drunk), but still a sound single malt all the same. Anything is better than a JW. Well done Kavalan.
don't waste your money, go for a JW green label instead
My husband had a blind tasting (thanks to your xmas gift) and thought the taste was interesting? A bit too floral for his taste though, and best with no water added, but he was glad he tried it. There is much better out there, from Scotland.
the worst whisky I ever try-- kavalan solist-- expensive rubbish
