Kavalan Taiwanese Whisky Is 2023 Top Shaker
It has been a year of novelty in the whisky industry with several top shakers and movers ruffling the worldwide whisky rankings as we know them. One of those upsetters is Kavalan, a single malt whisky distilled in Taiwan. The whisky has received over 770 golden awards including several this year.
Tokyo Whisky and Spirits Competition
At this year’s competition of the TWSC, Kavalan was awarded the “Best of the Best Single Malt Whisky”. This was a special award created to show the progress of the region. The competitors did not include Japan but involved more than 180 single malt whiskies.
The 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC)
Another prestigious whisky forum was the 2023 SFWSC. This is usually one of the biggest and most attended whisky and spirits competitions and represented tons of countries from all over the world. Kavalan’s Solist ex-Bourbon Single Cask Strength won the award for the “Best of Class Other Single Malt”.
The 2023 International Whisky Competition (IWC)
As the platforms enlarged with more countries and more distilleries participating, the Kavalan performance continued to shine beyond its flasks. On the international stage, the IWC, it clipped the 2023 International Whisky Competition’s (IWC) “Distillery of the Year.”
