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.

Kavalan - Taiwanese Single Malt Whisky 70CL

Kavalan Distillery Select - Whisky from The Whisky World UK

NV Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky, Taiwan

Kavalan Oloroso Sherry Oak Single Malt Whisky, Taiwan

Another welcome addition to the Kavalan range and using the same sherry cask aged stock that goes into the award winning Solist range but now bottled at a more easy drinking 46% ABV instead of cask strength but without losing any of the intensity. Nose: Honey glazed ham with caramelised pineapple, fig jam on brown toast, cherry coke, dark treacle, pear tarte tatin, ginger cake, sherry soaked orange slices, some savoury and leather notes along with a touch of old Armagnac.
