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'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.
"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.
