Kavalan's Taiwanese Single Malt



Waltham Culinary Center

Monday, February 29,

7 - 8:30pm





Kavalan, in a moment of sagacity, hired the one-and-only Jim Swan to design their distillery and whisky-making process. Dr. James Swan, though nowhere near as famous as Dr. Bill Lumsden, may be the only person in the industry whose acumen for chemistry outstrips Dr. Bill’s. Jim Swan specializes in optimizing whisky-making given tough conditions (such as overly hot and humid aging conditions).



The result is stunning…







Kavalan hit a monster of a homerun. Their whisky is winning awards left and right and is one of the single hottest products in the whisky industry.



On Monday we are hosting two of Kavalan’s Global Brand Ambassadors for a free seminar and sampling. They are opening everything they have available in MA including: The Kavalan Traditional

The Concert Master Port Finish

The King Car Whisky

The Ex-Bourbon Solist

The Sherry Solist

The Fino Solist This is a not-to-be-messed-with lineup of serious single malt whiskies. The Fino is highly allocated and quite rare. It was not particularly easy to get.



The tasting is free. Sign up here:

We would love to see you there.



Sincerely,

Nick Taylor You can’t make whisky in Taiwan. There is no way. Who in their right mind would make whisky in a sub-tropical climate zone? This was the thinking when Kavalan was founded. No one believed you could make whisky in that kind of climate let alone good whisky. It’s hot and damp and any idiot knows you will lose 12-15% a year to the angel’s share… In 10 years all you’ll have left is a cup of whisky soup!!Kavalan, in a moment of sagacity, hired the one-and-only Jim Swan to design their distillery and whisky-making process.
