Exceptional whisky delivers hints of vanilla fruitcake, fragrant cardamom, and orange pound cake

TAIPEI, Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Kavalan Distillery's latest expression aged in the extremely rare Palo Cortado sherry cask is selling out fast, after launching in Taiwan just last month.

Kavalan Solist Palo Cortado: The seventh and final gem in our sherry cask collection.

Kavalan's Solist Palo Cortado (750ml, 50-59.9% ABV) brings the Taiwanese distiller's sherry portfolio to seven sherry cask whiskies: Fino, Oloroso, Amontillado, Manzanilla, Pedro Ximénez, Moscatel, and finally Palo Cortado. The entire Solist series is bottled at single cask strength, non chill-filtered, and with natural colour to retain the fullest flavours.

CEO Mr. YT Lee said drinkers would find Kavalan a "Sherry Cask Encyclopedia", given it offered the most complete sherry cask portfolio, globally. He said with the launch of Solist Palo Cortado, the largest sherry cask family in the industry is now complete. 

Completing the world's most extensive sherry cask portfolio—Kavalan Solist Palo Cortado.

"With Palo Cortado sherry accounting for less than 1% of global sherry production, we saved one of the rarest and most unique sherry casks to the last," Mr Lee said.

"Uniquely combining the elegance of Amontillado with the richness of Oloroso, our Palo Cortado is replete with intricate aromas of cocoa powder, citrus, dried fruits, pastries, and toffee."

The Solist Palo Cortado is available through Kavalan's official channels in Taiwan, including the Kavalan Distillery Shop, Kavalan Whisky shops, Kavalan Whisky Bar, and select local liquor stores.
