[PRNewswire] Kavalan Debuts Master's Select Reserve No. 1, No. 2

-- Exclusive to Travel Retail

TAIPEI April 12, 2024 /PRNewswire=연합뉴스/ -- Kavalan is proud to announce the launch of two exclusive whiskies for International Duty-Free ? the first combines ex-Bourbon barrels and lightly peated STR casks, 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.

The double launch in April of Master's Select Reserve No. 1 and No. 2 (USD$110, 1L, 40�V) will take advantage of a rapidly recovering international travel world, in what analysts describe as a post-COVID retail travel market that prioritises quality over quantity.

Kavalan Senior Blender Zerose Yang said:

"We had such a great response to our Kavalan Artist Series, that we created the Master's Select. Our STR technique improves the whisky's body, making our flavours more robust, rounded, and smooth," he said.

"Master's Select Reserve No. 1 ex-bourbon flavours and its lightly peaty character harmonize well with vanilla and buttery flavours. Master's Select No. 2 combines the port berry aromas of the Port casks with a hint of peat, enhancing the depth of the robust wine cask style."

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.
