Additionally, Kavalan will introduce the special Kavalan Solist Peated Cask Single Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky, available exclusively at the Whisky Live Paris. Thierry Bénitah, CEO of La Maison du Whisky, expressed excitement about the collaboration and noted that this selection is part of a larger theme for the 2027 collection, "Les Anthologistes," celebrating exceptional spirits.
"This anniversary is not just a celebration of our past, but a testament to our ongoing partnership with Kavalan, which has been instrumental in introducing unique whiskies to enthusiasts across Europe," Bénitah stated.
M. YT Lee, President of King Car Group, the parent company of Kavalan, shared similar sentiments. "2026 marks a pivotal year for both Kavalan and La Maison du Whisky. We are thrilled to celebrate this milestone alongside a partner who has supported us for over a decade. Our mission has always been to explore the full potential of Taiwanese whisky and bring that spirit to whiskey lovers worldwide."
Visitors at the Kavalan booth will experience an immersive replication of the whisky aging warehouses located in Taiwan, allowing them to fully grasp the environment that nurtures Kavalan's distinctive offerings. This setup is designed to be inviting and educational, encouraging participants to explore and taste the range of whiskies presented.
Kavalan will also hold several masterclasses during the event, further enhancing the experience for whisky enthusiasts. The masterclasses are scheduled as follows:
Founded in 2005 in Yilan County, Taiwan, Kavalan has pioneered the art of single malt whisky, matured in challenging conditions of humidity and heat, and benefiting from the pristine water sourced from the Snow Mountains. This unique climate helps create Kavalan’s signature smoothness, and supported by over 45 years of expertise from King Car, they have amassed an impressive collection of over 1,000 gold medals in the industry’s most competitive contests.
Kavalan’s participation in Whisky Live Paris 2026 signifies more than just a celebration of remarkable milestones; it showcases a continuing journey of innovation in the world of whisky, making it a must-attend event for spirits aficionados and new tasters alike.
