Kavalan Description
This was the first expression launched in the name of King Car which is the name of the conglomerate. The single malt represents the company's diversity and multi-faceted business that we do. It is diverse with complex flavours, delicate aromas and multiple layers of background fruitiness. Sweet, rich vanilla, banana but also coconut, a slight pleasant bitterness balancing the sweetness.
Color: Vivid amber.
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 multiple layers of aromas, fragrances and nuances waiting to be discovered by each individual and connoisseur.
Palate: Sweet, rich with vanilla and 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.
Food Pairing: Pair rich dishes, such as in Taiwanese, Thai and Japanese cuisine, with King Car Conductor.

Pouring a light straw but showing an exuberant nose of exotic fruit, golden oats, dried fruit, and salted caramel this whisky is very impressive. The mouthfeel is dense but lively with youth leading to a refreshing finish of toasted barley.
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.
