Taiwanese single malt whisky Kavalan has teamed up with distributor Eurostandart to reintroduce its core range to the Israeli market.
Kavalan makes its return to the Israeli market with a wide range of single malt expressions
Eurostandart’s goal is to enhance Kavalan’s presence in retail, hospitality, speciality retail, and e-commerce channels as it re-enters the market.
YT Lee, chairman of Kavalan owner King Car Group, said: “We’re delighted to bring Kavalan back to Israel with a partner that shares our commitment to quality and long-term brand building.
“Israeli whisky drinkers have a genuine appreciation for craftsmanship and distinctive flavour, and we look forward to introducing more consumers to the diversity of our award-winning Taiwanese single malt range.”
Eurostandart is described as one of the leading beverage distributors and importers in Israel, boasting more than 24 years of experience. With more than a century of combined management expertise, the company caters to specialist retailers, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, and private clients throughout the country.
A spokesperson for Eurostandart commented on the partnership: “Eurostandart stands for innovation, uncompromising product quality and excellent value for money. Kavalan has earned worldwide recognition for redefining what world whisky can achieve.
“We are excited to build the brand in Israel through specialist retail, education, Whisky Live Tel Aviv and meaningful consumer activations.”
Kavalan will relaunch in Israel with a portfolio of core expressions.
These include Kavalan Classic, Distillery Select No.1, Distillery Select No.2, Triple Sherry Cask, Concertmaster Port Cask Finish, Lán Single Malt Whisky, and the Solist range, featuring ex-Bourbon, Fino Sherry and Vinho Barrique Single Cask Strength expressions.
Earlier this year, Kavalan appointed Marussia Beverages as its exclusive distribution partner in the UK, and entered Bahrain in partnership with Gulf Brands International.
Last month, the Taiwanese distillery debuted a Madeira cask-aged whisky in travel retail.
At The World Whisky Masters 2026, Kavalan was awarded 10 Master and 18 Gold medals. The brand’s Podium single malt also took home the highest recognition of Taste Master.
