Kavalan debuts Master’s Select Reserves
Kavalan announced the launch of two exclusive whiskies for International Duty-Free. The first combines ex-Bourbon barrels and lightly peated STR casks and the second combines Port barriques with lightly peated STR casks.
STR casks are treated using the Taiwanese distiller’s unique Shave-Toast-Rechar technique to unlock flavours hidden in the oak’s deep layers. Kavalan’s lightly peated STR whisky is lightly peated new make, aged in the distillery’s STR casks.
Master’s Select Reserve No. 1 delivers a harmony of fruity sweetness with a warm, gentle peaty and nutty essence. Master’s Select Reserve No. 2 offers luscious, intense aromas of dark berries and stone fruits melded together. Both express the essence of Kavalan and highlight the exceptional craftsmanship and barrel selection of our skilled blending team, while extending this exclusive product line into travel retail channels.
Expressions bottled at 40 percent ABV and priced at USD$110. The whiskies will launch in South Korea, Singapore, India, Vietnam and Hong Kong in 2024 followed by other Asian airport duty-free shops. The newly developed duty-free shop at Bahrain International Airport is among those.
