Kavalan Distillery is located in Taiwan. Reportedly just taking 9 months to build, it was opened in 2006 with the help and expertise of the late Dr. Jim Swan. Due to the warmer climate, the spirit maturing experiences a far greater loss through evaporation. However, this means that the whisky will mature relatively quickly compared to Scotch, whilst still gaining some great cask influence, especially given the quality of casks invested in at the distillery.
Named after the company who owns the distillery, Kavalan King Car Conductor is the first bottling launched in the name of the conglomerate. The aim of this bottling is too create a rich complex malt to reflect the company that owns it with a rich fruity side and floral creamy notes. This single malt's complexity represents the company's diversity and multi-faceted business.
Diverse with complex flavours, it has delicate aromas and multiple layers of background fruitiness. Sweet rich vanilla, banana, and coconut with a slight pleasant bitterness balancing the sweetness.
Official Tasting Notes
Colour - Vivid amber.
Flavour - 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.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
