Kavalan Concertmaster Port Cask Finish Single Malt Taiwanese Whisky 700ml

Kavalan Concertmaster Port Cask Finish Single Malt Taiwanese Whisky 700ml

Using Portuguese ruby Port wine casks as the main flavour, Kavalan-Concertmaster-Port Cask Finish single malt whisky is first matured in specially selected American oak casks and then finished in port barriques. The ageing in barriques mellows the flavours and adds indefinable smoothness to the whisky. It is rich bodied with natural sweetness and complexity.

ABV: 40%

Kavalan Concertmaster Port Cask Other reviews… the elegant restraint of this whisky should certainly be admired. 92.5 points – Jim Murrays Whisky Bible 2021

…Here Jim Swan has taken the bold step of double maturing an already quick maturing spirit, but it works. Blueberries and rich oak are to the fore, while Kavalan’s cherry accents act as the link between spirit and Port. Think rosehips and creme de mures. Thick and liquorous. 90 points – maltadvocate.com (Vol. 19, #4) Reviewed by: Dave Broom

“An effusive offering of dark fruits: cranberry, blueberry, and black currant. This is a beautiful marriage of the spirit and the port cask finishing, showing applesauce, aged oak, macaroons, and dry aromatic spices. Black currant holds sway on the tongue, yielding to caramel, ground ginger, a second burst of juicy blueberry, with a hot finish evoking strips of dried tropical fruit and flashes of ground pepper. Rewarding and flavorsome.” – 90/100, Whisky Advocate
