\"World\u2019sA whisky made in Taiwan has taken the title of world\u2019s best single malt whisky 2015 for its \u201csweet pruney\u201d flavors and dry, walnut finish.<\/p>\n

After Jim Murray\u2019s Whisky Bible named The Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry 2013 from Japan the best in the world, another group has proclaimed the Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique Single Cask Strength whisky from Taiwan the world\u2019s best single malt whisky 2015.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an outcome that rubs salt into the wounds of Scotland\u2019s whisky industry and boosts Asia\u2019s reputation as a formidable player in the spirits market.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also an impressive feat for a distillery that only just released its first bottle of whisky in late 2008.<\/p>\n

Developed to appeal to the Taiwanese palate, Kavalan whiskies have fruitier flavor profiles thanks to the use of different casks and barrels.<\/p>\n

Kavalan means \u201cflatland people\u201d and is named after the aboriginal ethnic group which originally inhabited the modern-day Yilan County, home to the distillery.<\/p>\n

Judges of the World Whiskies Awards, hosted by TheDrinksReport.com, heap a plethora of evocative adjectives on the winning whisky: nutty, meaty, pruney, clove, chili, dry cinnamon, walnut, incense, caramel, marzipan, coffee-vanilla, fudge and sandalwood.<\/p>\n
