The newly introduced products to the domestic market this time are 'Kavalan Triple Sherry Cask Single Malt' and 'Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique Single Cask Strength Single Malt.' In particular, the company explained that the 'Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique Single Cask Strength Single Malt,' which was previously only available at duty-free shops, has expanded its sales channels due to high consumer interest.

The Kavalan Triple Sherry Cask Single Malt features a rich aroma of sherry casks with a perfect blend of Oloroso, Pedro Xim?nez, and Moscatel. It offers flavors of ripe berries and fresh grapes, followed by sweet chocolate and the spicy scent of rosemary. When tasted, it carries sweetness like dried fruits, caramel, and honey, along with floral notes, boasting a perfect balance and distinctive taste.

The Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique Single Cask Strength Single Malt is crafted by undergoing the 'S.T.R process (Shaving, Toasting, Recharring)' on the finest American oak wine barrels to maximize delicate flavors and aromas. Notably, it does not go through the chill filtration process (a step where the whiskey is cooled before bottling to filter out coagulated substances), allowing one to experience the whiskey's original rich taste and aroma, harmonizing vanilla, caramel, and citrus fruits.

A representative from Golden Blue International stated, “With the increasing consumer interest in third-world whiskeys, demand for 'Kavalan' is explosively rising,” and added, “We will continue to discover and invest in whiskeys not yet introduced domestically to enable consumers to experience unique whiskeys.”
