(TAIPEI, Taiwan, May 15, 2017 PRNewswire=연합뉴스) Kavalan, Taiwan's premier whisky, has clinched "Double Gold" twice at this year's 17th San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC) for its Solist Sherry Cask [http://www.kavalanwhisky.com/EN/product-detailed.aspx?Serno=26 ] and Solist Vinho Barrique [http://www.kavalanwhisky.com/EN/product-detailed.aspx?Serno=28 ] taking its Gold medal tally up to more than 220.
Both award winners are single cask strength and all Kavalan whiskies are single malts.
SFWSC says the Double Gold designation is awarded to the "very few entries that receive Gold medal ratings by all members of the judging panel."
"These are among the finest products in the world," SFWSC says.
The Solist Vinho Barrique is no stranger to awards. It won the whisky industry's highest possible recognition, the "World's Best Single Malt Whisky [http://www.worldwhiskiesawards.com/2015/ ]" from the prestigious World Whiskies Awards [http://www.worldwhiskiesawards.com/2016/ ] (WWA).
Last year the WWA also awarded Kavalan the "World's Best Single Cask Single Malt Whisky [http://www.worldwhiskiesawards.com/kavalan-solist-amontillado-sherry-single-cask-strength.25585.html ]" for its Solist Amontillado Sherry Single Cask Strength [http://www.kavalanwhisky.com/EN/product-detailed.aspx?Serno=30 ].
Kavalan CEO Mr YT Lee said Kavalan would keep on proving that its whisky made in subtropical Taiwan was world class.
He added that Kavalan should be increasingly more available across the US with the distributor currently working on a major sales expansion program.
