Truth Malters Ltd. President Lawrence Schoen said demand for Kavalan in Ontario was behind the Taiwanese whisky manufacturer's move.
TAIPEI — Kavalan has now listed three of its premium whiskies with Ontario’s liquor control board in Canada.
The three cask strength, single cask Solists are:
- Solist ex-Bourbon Cask
- Solist Oloroso Sherry Cask
- Solist Vinho Barrique
Truth Malters Ltd. President Lawrence Schoen said demand for Kavalan in Ontario was behind the Taiwanese whisky manufacturer’s move.
“It’s our intention to share with Canada, one of the world’s leading countries for Whisky consumption, some of the highest quality whiskies from the world’s top Distillers,” he said.
Across the rest of the country, Kavalan reportedly enjoys strong sales as a result of Canadian consumers seeking out a variety of whisky types from Wine Casks, Sherry Casks to ex-Bourbon Cask.
Kavalan says that there is a high demand for Cask Strength Whisky in Canada, and they are trying to meet it.
Schoen said his love for Kavalan whisky started with his first sip.
“After trying the Kavalan Classic in 2009, I immediately knew it was something special and was hooked. I couldn’t wait to see what the next release would be.”
Schoen began his company Truth Malters following his fascination with Kavalan and the whisky industry.
