The Kavalan KING CAR CONDUCTOR single malt whisky 46% vol. 0.7 l + GB is the only Kavalan Distillery bottling to be released under the name of the King Car Group, highlighting the close connection between the distillery and the parent company. Like the Solist series, it is bottled non-chill filtered and comes in a high-quality gift box that underlines its special position within the portfolio.
At 46% vol., this Taiwan single malt whisky shows a clear, structural focus that is typical of the rapid maturation in the warm island climate. The production is based on precise cask selection and the characteristic distillery character of Kavalan. The King Car Conductor is an expressive bottling that is a long-lasting reflection of the distillery's style and an independent interpretation of the Kavalan philosophy.

Tasting notes:
Color: Lively amber with warm, golden reflections.
Nose: Clean and fruity with notes of papaya, banana and green apple, complemented by floral nuances and complex, multi-layered aromas.

The Kavalan King Car Conductor is ideal for pure enjoyment, where its fruity and tropical elements stand out particularly well. Mild cheeses, air-dried ham, roasted nuts or desserts with vanilla and coconut create a harmonious combination that elegantly supports its aromatic depth. It also goes well with Asian-inspired dishes such as lemongrass chicken, slightly spicy curries or sweet and sour variations that pick up on its fruity structure. In mixology, it can be used for high-quality whisky cocktails, such as variants of the Whisky Sour or Old Fashioned, where fruity notes are desired. As a digestif, it has a warm, balanced and long-lasting aromatic finish. (automated translation)
