I'm in the midst of writing my "Taiwan" series of reviews, wherein I'm sampling the best whiskies this lovely island has to offer. I'm midway through my Kavalan reviews, and I thought I'd take a moment…

I'm planning on heading to the Kavalan distillery soon and I've decided to try their range in order to get a feel for the brand. Sadly this brand isn't readily available outside of Asia. Apparently they…
