Kavalan Concertmaster Port Cask Finish Single Malt

A balanced, Single Malt Taiwanese Whisky by the Kavalan Distillery first matured in American Oak then transferred for a year to Port casks that previously held Ruby Port, Tawny Port & Vintage Port. It has a complex birth with notes of Tropical fruits, red grapes, clove, vanilla, coconut, a hint of tobacco leaf & cookie dough; while a rich & dry life adds notes of grain, smoke, peat, port, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, white pepper & white oak warmth; that led to a quick & elegant death with notes of raisins, prunes, strawberry jam, a hint of tobacco & bitter oak.
