Matured in hand selected top quality Spanish oloroso sherry casks. Dried fruits and raisin are the main characteristicts of this unique Taiwanese whisky. The Mists of Kavalan, Taiwan In ancient times, the land around Yilan in Taiwan was called Kavalan, a mysterious land that was soley inhabited by the indigenous people of the Kavalan clan. The name was officially recognized by the Emperor of the Chin dynasty in the year of 1809 when the original city was also built under the same name. Kavalan had always been kept primitive and protected from the outside world by the Syue-shan mountain range which is abundant in high quality natural water that comes from deep within the mountain range. The mists of Kavalan and the spirits of the past have been created for you in this exquisite whisky. Tasting Notes Colour: Deep mahogany Nose: Clean and complex with multi-layers of dried fruit, nuttiness and spices with some marzipan and vanilla touches to it as well Palate: Smooth, well-balanced natural sweetness, full with pleasant dried fruit and spices. The whisky leaves a beautifully elegant and long finish

Critic reviews and blind-tasting competition results for this bottle.
Two out of three ain't bad. … a perfect reproduction of a big, plummy, pruney, tannin-soaked rich fruit compote with late fall damp forest notes. … Today, and by its own standards, it's Kavalan doing an Aerosmith ballad.
If you are a sherry lover, this is the whisky for you. … The finish is perhaps a bit too chewy and tannic.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
