Description

What began as Kavalan's biggest challenge has become its secret ingredient—Taiwan's subtropical heat. It's the reason that Lee was told it couldn't be done, and now it's the reason Kavalan is able to supercharge the whisky maturation process, accomplishing in four or six years what might take a Scottish producer 15 or 25 years. The very simple explanation is that heat increases the interaction of the spirit with the wood, leading to more rapid and intense extraction of desired flavor compounds.

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.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Exotic fruit, cream toffee, and soft banana


Palate: Bitter orange, dark chocolate, and pepper. It's rapier-sharp, clean, and drying rather than sweet.
