Kavalan Introduces Distiller’s Select Whisky

Kavalan Single Malt Whisky and U.S. importer Hotaling & Co. have announced the arrival of Kavalan Distillery Select in the U.S. for $60 SRP, 43% ABV, beginning September 2018.

“Kavalan Distillery Select is matured in select malt neutral casks to showcase the fruitiness and sub-tropical characteristic of Taiwan’s climate without too much influence from the wood,” says Master Blender, Ian Chang. “We simplified our recipe to create the purest and creamiest of whiskies with rich and complex layers to further endorse our rigorous cask policy. The formula also presents notes of green apple, mango, pineapple, and cherry resulting in a versatile Kavalan suitable for mixing and enjoying neat.”

Kavalan whiskies have been very well received, especially by awards panels, but they are often relatively expensive. This release presents a Kavalan that is more moderately priced and within the reach of most world whisky fans.
