“Kavalan Single Malt. Absolutely wonderful when it touches the taste buds it erupts into a glorious symphony explosion of aroma and taste. What more can i say. This was a gift from my boys in sweden. For Xmas 2018.”

Description
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.

Nose
Fragrant and tropical fruits with floral notes, vanilla and mango.
Palate
There's mango throughout, spicy barley, gentle oak and creamy richness.

A touch of allspice, vanilla and fragrant pear skin.
