Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Golden amber with warm highlights; colour from bourbon-type casks, moderate depth
Nose
Tropical peat — campfire smoke, mango, vanilla, sea salt, iodine. Unique subtropical peat character — softer and more fruity than Scottish peat. Honey, lemon, gentle ash. Taiwan's tropical climate tames peat into something entirely different
Palate
Medium-full body. Tropical peat — campfire smoke, mango, vanilla, honey, sea salt. Peat is present but wrapped in tropical fruit sweetness. Iodine, lemon, gentle ash, coconut. Unlike any Scottish peated whisky — the heat creates rapid integration
Finish
Long finish. Smoke and tropical fruit fade together. Sea salt, vanilla, gentle ash. Kavalan's unique take on peat — tropical maturation creates rapid peat integration impossible in cooler climates
