About the brand

World-renowned Kavalan Distillery in Yilan County, Taiwan, has been taking the whisky community by storm since 2005. This distinct single malt distillery sources mineral-rich melt waters from the beautiful and rugged Snow Mountain and uses a combination of the natural humidity, climate, and altitude of its surroundings to create highly coveted, superior quality single malt Scotch. Founded by Mr. Tien-Tsai Lee, the brand has come to be known for its exceptional distillation and finishing, offering a truly smooth sipping experience every time. Mr. T.T. Lee's dream to launch Taiwan's first whisky lured him across the old world, learning the long-standing techniques of authentic Scotch making from masters in Scotland and Japan. To compete, T.T. Lee knew his brand would have to be more than just another Scotch - it would have to be world-class from nose to finish. Kavalan Distillery carries on this dream and ambition, bringing together an expert R&D team that leans into the mastery of a renowned whisky specialist, the late Dr. Jim Swan. With the support of international conglomerate King Car Group, Kavalan Distillery is bound to become a legend in its own right, both in its native Taiwan and throughout the world.

57.8% ABV Cask# F1100707013B Container #051/562 Nose - (w/o water) Dull oaky apple/pear juice traces of brilliant raisins and prunes dim caramelized sugar (w/water) Strangely more ethanol fruity peppercorns brilliant raisins oak tannic smell Taste - (w/o water) At first extremely hot tropical fruity sweet Tahitian vanilla fruity hot warmth very drying light harsh/nutty sweet organic product (w/water) Consume is everything except gone fruity botanical sweet light unpleasant apple stems/seeds brilliant raisins less dry Completion - (w/o water) Warmth blurs strangely severe fruity dry pecan skin nutty/harsh (w/water) Less dry waiting sweet apple/pear/brilliant raisins daintily restorative Score - 65/100 Last Considerations - I don't know whether I got a terrible Fino barrel or something however this was a remarkable frustration. It was a battle to choose a points of interest from the nose other than a conventional sweet" and oak. The taste wasn't frightful yet it felt exceptionally unequal with and without the expansion of water. This super drying sensation kept going all through and made the whole experience somewhat unsavory. The strange sharpness all through was certainly not a wonderful one and the expansion of water made it taste somewhat restorative. Here's to trusting I got a terrible bunch? Would I drink it whenever advertised? - Yes Would I explicitly arrange it? - Perhaps just to check whether I got a terrible cluster Would I purchase a container? - Not another"
