15 years single malt whisky’ is Kavalan’s first age-statement whisky
Kavalan Distillery is launching its first-ever whisky with an age statement, matured in four unique casks: ex-Bourbon, Oloroso Sherry, Ruby Port, and Puncheon.
The release marks a milestone in the journey of this Taiwanese distiller, which has broken boundaries not just by region but also by time and maturation.
The whisky also pays tribute to the historic moment when Kavalan and Taiwan began whisky making. On this day in 2006, the first-ever drops of Taiwanese-made new-make spirit rolled off the stills, setting the stage for nearly two decades of innovation and craftsmanship.
Kavalan 15 Years Old Single Malt Whisky 2025 Edition, 43 per cent ABV, 700ml, will be released in 30,000 bottles globally, representing rare stock from the subtropical distillery’s ultra-aged whisky selection.
One of Kavalan’s oldest bottlings, CEO YT Lee said the 2025 edition has been masterfully blended using hand-selected aged whisky reserves, drawing on the four distinct cask types.
“We wanted to achieve extraordinary depth and balance with multiple layers of complexity befitting a high-age statement whisky. So we created a formula based on a four-cask maturation that would maximise the characteristics of each cask and achieve a rich harmony in the final product,” he said.
