KAVALAN SOLIST EX-BOURBON SINGLE CASK STRENGTH WHISKEY FROM TAIWAN
Much like Japan, Taiwan has emerged in the recent past as a serious player in the worldwide whiskey scene. Amid fewer restrictions than in the US or Europe on what constitutes “single malt,” experimentation reigns, and the subtropical climate leads to a faster aging process, developing deep, complex flavors in the barrel in short order. Kavalan, founded in 2005, put Taiwan on the map, winning scads of international awards. The Solist exBourbon Single Cask Strength leans into the distillery’s often sweet, tropical-fruit flavor profile, making it a perfect replacement for bourbon alongside bitter, fruity amari and sour lemon in the Paper Plane—like Kavalan, another modern classic, invented in 2007 by an Australian bartender. INGREDIENTS ¾ oz Kavalan Solist ex-Bourbon Single Cask Strength ¾ oz Aperol ¾ oz Amaro Nonino Quintessentia ¾ oz lemon juice METHOD Add ingredients to a shaker, shake with ice, then strain into a coupe glass.
