It was back in 2008 that Taiwan’s King Car Group conglomerate released the first Kavalan whisky, inspired by the country’s relatively huge consumption of Scotch in recent years. Since then, the company hasn’t looked back, combining a fruit-centred spirit style with multiple cask types, a willingness to experiment and the rapid maturation encouraged by Taiwan’s tropical climate.

The pictures are from the actual bottle frond and back,  if you’d like more detailed photos just get in touch!

Solist is German for ‘Soloist’, which in this case refers to the fact that this expression is from Kavalan’s single cask range (they really, really like musical metaphors). Given this whisky is of course Taiwanese, I can’t really tell you why this range has an apparently German name but I can tell you that their ex-Bourbon cask releases won a Gold Medal at both the ISC 2010 and the IWSC 2011. Impressive.

To mature their Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique expression, the King Car distillers in Taiwan use casks which have held both red and white wines, before being re-toasted. The whisky is fully matured in these casks to help their Taiwanese single malt develop a bold, expressive flavour profile brimming with berry, plum and caramelised sugar notes. At the Los Angeles Wine & Spirits Competition this exciting Taiwanese whisky received a Gold Medal and an impressive score of 91 out of 100.
