THE PANEL
Ian Chang — Kavalan Master Blender / Head of R&D
Ian has arguably one of the best jobs in Taiwan. Since 2005, he’s helped establish Kavalan as one of Taiwan’s most recognizable and acclaimed brands. A seasoned judge for the World Whiskies Awards (WWA) and International Wine and Spirits Competition (IWSC), Ian has been awarded the WWA’s 2015 Whisky Distillery Manager and Master Distiller of the Year, as well as the Icons of Whisky’s 2017 World Whisky Brand Ambassador of the Year. At Kavalan, Ian is responsible for R&D, blending and quality control, as well as leading Kavalan’s global business development and brand ambassador teams. We’re very excited to hear him share his perspectives about making whisky, how Kavalan promotes its Taiwanese roots around the world, and the secrets to establishing a premium brand out of Taiwan.
Chris Horton — Journalist & Contributor to the The New York Times
Chris has been based in Taipei since 2015 and is a regular contributor to The New York Times.
