"King Car is the name of the Taiwanese company that owns the Kavalan brand and this lavishly packaged single malt is its standard bearer. It's not hard to see why. More subtle and complex than some earlier bottlings of Kavalan, this has an exotic fruit, cream toffee, and soft banana nose, and has bitter orange, dark chocolate, and pepper on the palate. It's rapier-sharp, clean, and drying rather than sweet."

About the Distillery
Kavalan Distillery has been pioneering the art of single malt whisky in Yilan County, Taiwan, since 2005. Using mineral-rich spring water from Snow Mountain and matured in Taiwan’s intense heat and humidity with sea and mountain breezes, Kavalan whiskies develop their signature smoothness and distinctive fruity character. The distillery was founded by entrepreneur Mr. T.T. Lee under the King Car Group, combining decades of beverage expertise with whisky research led by the late Dr. Jim Swan.
