Taiwan's premier distiller Kavalan is proud to announce the launch of its "15th Anniversary" Limited Edition Whisky Duo, the brand's oldest whiskies to date.

"In commemoration of this special anniversary, our team selected exceptional quality Spanish Oloroso Sherry and American ex-Bourbon casks from the distinguished 2009 vintage – a year that also marks the inaugural launch of these two casks in the Solist Series," said Mr. Y.T. Lee, CEO of Kavalan.

The bottle and packaging design embody the essence of the ageing process, a theme central to the distillery's heritage. Crafted to reflect the journey from pure new make spirit to matured whisky, the bottle maintains a transparent glass profile, symbolising clarity and quality. Designed as an exclusive gift set, it includes a coaster and whisky glass, enhancing the experience for enthusiasts to appreciate the depth and beauty of this limited-edition release. These expressions, available in 75cl bottles with an alcohol content of 50-59.9% ABV, embody 15 years of Kavalan's pursuit of excellence in the Solist Single Cask Strength series.

The Kavalan 15th Anniversary expressions will first launch in Taiwan in July and will be rolled out worldwide in October.
