Kavalan Concertmaster Port Cask Finish Single Malt
Single Malt — Taiwan
Reviewed July 2, 2021 (edited January 5, 2022)First impressions were not good, young, spirity and one note. 20 minutes in the glass made a huge difference as the ethanol disappeared and the nose and palate revealed chocolate, vanilla, tobacco, light spice, and sweet red fruit notes. The finish is medium length, with restrained sweet, spicy and bitter notes. -
