Kavalan Whisky recently announced the U.S. debut of its Triple Sherry Cask – a rare combination of Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel-aged casks.
After fully maturing Kavalan’s new make spirit in the three individual sherry casks, Triple Sherry Cask reflects a three-stage balancing act of marrying vats. The process allows the three whiskies, once fully matured in the three respective sherry casks, to rest and meld together in perfect fusion.
“This is the first time we’ve combined our whisky in three different sherry casks,” said Kavalan CEO YT Lee. “It’s all about multiplying and enriching the sherry flavors to make a distinct whisky that has dried fruits, rich caramel, sweet maltose and tropical fruits as its profile.”
“During this process, the flavors harmonize through a myriad combination of the three sherry cask whiskies, creating up to nine distinct sherry dimensions,” Senior Blender Zerose Yang added. “With the dried fruits of the Oloroso cask as its main character, Triple Sherry is embellished with the sweetness of PX and Moscatel casks.”
Kavalan’s new Triple Sherry Cask packaging design breaks with the past, visually connecting the taste and aroma of the liquid for the first time. A painting intertwined with white, gold, and red colors, which symbolizes the multilayered and smooth taste of triple sherry cask whisky, while also presenting the color combination of new make, whisky and sherry wine. Underscored on the tin capsule is a double silver line, symbolizing the Central Mountain and Snow Mountain ranges surrounding Kavalan Distillery.
Located in Yilan County, Kavalan was the first non-government-owned distillery in Taiwan when it first opened in 2005.
Kavalan Triple Sherry Cask Single Malt Whisky is available now for $99.99.
