This expression from the Taiwanese King Car distillery is the first to carry the name of the King Car Group instead of 'Kavalan' as their single malt whiskies have all be known as to date. Created as a well-rounded malt to represent the well-rounded Group, who operate in many industries, it is also bottled at a higher abv of 46%.
I found this to be very harsh. Lots of burn following a very brief fruity entry. I liked what little I have tried of Kavalan but this is one conductor I won’t be following.
Really great whisky, rich and flavourful, quite fruity, quite complex and very easy drinking. I think comparisons, and complaints, with regards to it not being smokey are a little unfair. It isn't a peated whisky thus it will not have those notes. this doesn't mean it isn't a really good whisky - it is, I highly recommend you try it. (And this is coming from a fan of the peated whiskies)
I got a sample with my last order and I quiet liked it. I would never buy a bottle, I am more into peated whisky in general, even I really like Japanese, but this one is ok. Better than dalwinie, craggenmore, bushmill and stuff like that. It is fresh and sweet with an exotic fruitiness and some malt at the end. I personnaly feel it misses some complexity, smoke, dryness (like Amrut Peated for instence...) to be very good.
Nose: honeysuckle, broom and sherbert. Sweet in the mouth (but isn’t a VSOP?). No huge aftertaste, but entirely attractive: certainly not “old tyres” as some otherwise attractive drams can present. Definitely one for my conductor friends - there’s something in a silly name after all!
My favourite of the lot. Pungent, power,, poised & persistent.
