Kavalan Concertmaster Port Cask Finish
(0.75l, 40%)
A port harmony.
Since 2008, Kavalan, named after the earliest tribe that inhabited Yi-Lan county, Taiwan, has looked to represent sincerity, honesty, and the spirit of step-by-step cultivation, with a passionate commitment to creating a series of premium Whiskies.
Being named Best in Class at the 2011 International Wine & Spirits Competition as well as winning 2013 gold from the Beverage Testing Institute (among others) only goes to show how brilliant it is that the Kavalan Concertmaster is available here today.
The Whisky was first matured in American Oak then transferred for a year to Port casks that previously held Ruby Port, Tawny Port and Vintage Port it results in a mellow, smooth and complex Whisky.

Anna,
Lovely and complex port flavour. Nose: vanilla, brown sugar, tobacco, Palate: Ripe plums, more brown sugar, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, Finish: Salted caramel and raisins.
Sophian,
After several stellar Solist bottles, I was convinced Kavalan is my Asian value-for-money distillery of choice (Japanese whiskies cost too much!). So I seeked out a possible daily go-to from Kavalan. Bought this and was sorely disappointed. Found it weak, lack of flavour, watery and just fell short of all expectations. However, do contextualise that with the fact that the Solist range are all cask strength!
Jennifer,
Pleasing texture, subtle notes of ____, honey, fruity aftertaste, let it coat and linger, afterfeel and aftertaste are where this one shines, a hot day's whiskey, Definite flavors of coconut.
Brett,
Really smooth. I was impressed and surprised with it. It’s a little sweeter than some other whiskeys but really solid.
Brandon,
Not kidding about dry. But only at first. Let it coat your tongue and savor. Then you can taste the fruit and vanilla. Gets smoother with each sip. Enjoy the sweet oaky smell as you drink it. Fun to try whiskey from the East.
