TAIPEI, Nov. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Rare combination of 3 exquisite sherry oak casks

Kavalan has launched its Triple Sherry Cask, a rare combination of Oloroso,

Pedro Ximenez (PX) and Moscatel-aged casks with Kavalan's velvety texture and

signature sweetness.

Pedro Ximenez is known as the king of sweet sherry and Moscatel is the queen of

sweet sherry.

"This is the first time we've combined our whisky in three different sherry

casks. It's all about multiplying and enriching the sherry flavours to make a

distinct whisky that has dried fruits, rich caramel, sweet maltose and tropical

fruits as its profile," said CEO Mr YT Lee.

After fully maturing in three sherry casks, Triple Sherry Cask showcases a

three-stage balancing craft in the marrying vats. The process allows the three

whiskies, each fully matured in the three different sherry casks to rest and

meld together in perfect fusion, locking in optimal smoothness.

"During this process, the flavours collide through a myriad combination of the

three sherry cask whiskies, creating up to 9 distinct sherry dimensions. With

its main character the dried fruits of the Oloroso cask, Triple Sherry is

embellished with the sweetness of PX and Moscatel casks," said Senior Blender

Zerose Yang.

Like a smooth flamenco dance, its notes of cinnamon, candied smoked plum, and

citrus, layered with berry, tropical fruit, and longan aromas, with a dash of

honey, chocolate, and toffee playfully tease the taste buds.

The packaging design breaks with the past, visually connecting the taste and

aroma of the liquid for the first time. The fluid painting intertwined with

white, gold, and red colours, which symbolises the multilayered and smooth

taste of triple sherry cask whisky. Also it presents the combination of the

colour of new make, whisky and sherry wine. Underscored on the tin capsule is a

double silver line, symbolising the Central Mountain and Snow Mountain ranges

surrounding Kavalan Distillery.

The new 700ml, 40% ABV Kavalan will appear first on shelves in France, Canada,

Japan, Singapore, China, Australia, New Zealand and Guam at a RRP of NT$2,300.
