SOUTHERN / AMERICAN / PACIFIC WINE & SPIRITS® Kavalan – 6045578035359

About the Whisky:

This is the first expression launched in the name of King Car which is the name of the conglomerate. The single malt represents the company showing the kind of diversity, multi-area of business that we do. It is diverse with complex flavors, delicate aromas and multi-layer of background fruitiness. Sweet, rich vanilla, banana but also coconut, a slight pleasant bitterness balancing the sweetness.

Tasting Notes:
Color: Vivid amber that is as passionate as ever!

Nose: Excellently clean and freshly fruity single malt. A touch of papaya, banana and green apple, just to name a few. Pleasantly floral, delicate and complex with depths and multilayers of aromas, fragrances and nuances waiting to be discovered by each individual and connoisseur!

Palate: Sweet, rich, vanilla, banana but also coconut, a slight pleasant bitterness balancing the sweetness. A mouthfilling dram, more complex and sophisticated than you will ever imagine. A grand masterpiece to represent and bear the name of the Group – King Car.

Awards/Reviews:

Best Taiwanese Single Malt – World Whiskies Awards 2023

“Rich, creamy, and nutty notes of hazelnut and coffee beans dominate the palate. The nose is complex with aromas of banana and raisin – reminiscent of banana bread – before a light, bready finish.”

93 Points – Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2023

“Oloroso character with good complexity. Notes of toffee apple, earth and flint are well-balanced and complementary. Defined cask influence throughout.”

Gold – World Whisky Masters 2023, 2021

90 Points – Whisky Advocate

“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.”
