Taiwanese whisky distillery Kavalan has announced the launch of a special gift set featuring its Concertmaster Port Cask Finish along with two miniature bottles of its flagship expressions. The set includes a 700ml bottle of the Port Cask whisky and two 50ml bottles of Kavalan Classic and Distillery Select No 1.
Kavalan Concertmaster Port Cask Finish undergoes maturation in American oak casks and is finished in Portuguese ruby Port barriques. Described as having notes of honey, vanilla, coconut, and candy floss on the nose, with a rich-bodied profile that offers natural sweetness and complexity on the palate, all three whiskies are bottled at 40% ABV. The gift set will be priced at €75 (US$80).
Brand ambassador Britney Chen emphasized the set’s appeal, stating, “Regardless of one’s familiarity with Kavalan Whisky, this set undeniably stands out as a triumph.” Chen, drawing from global masterclasses and exhibitions, recommends it as a cherished and approachable choice for whisky enthusiasts.
The packaging features vibrant green hues inspired by the distillery’s mountainous surroundings, with Kavalan’s water source, Snow Mountain, depicted on the box and bottle. The inner lining showcases a colorful fern symbolizing Taiwan’s subtropical landscape.
Available exclusively for export markets, the gift set will be distributed in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Japan, Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Mexico. Kavalan is also set to open a flagship store in Lotte Duty Free’s shop in Seoul, South Korea, expanding its global presence.
In addition to the Concertmaster Port Cask Finish, Kavalan’s recent releases include a Triple Sherry Cask Finish whisky and a Cask Strength range, showcasing its commitment to innovation and quality in the whisky market.
