Nose: Kavalan King Car reveals rich, complex aromas of tropical fruit, vanilla and toffee, with subtle notes of toasted oak. Feel: On the palate, this Taiwanese single malt offers a velvety texture and intense flavors of ripe fruit, honey, sweet spices and dark chocolate. Finish: The finish of Kavalan King Car is long and lingering, leaving sweet and spicy notes on the palate that invite further tasting.
