Kavalan Concertmaster Port Cask Finish Single Malt

Nose is combination of bright tropical fruits like papaya and mango, along with taffy-like sweetness and deep port prune notes. Palate is very fruity, mostly of banana and a very prominent and lingering ripe papaya. Has a bit of a bitter, drying finish to it. Not flavors I'm used to getting out of single malts. Very nice!

Overall very disappointing. Finishing the bottle was hard as was too spicy to be enjoyable.

Tropical, coconut, rich

Nose: fruity (sweet like mango), warming spices, strong vanilla. Some very faint alcohol notes. The floral Kavalan notes from the classic can be found in the background. Palate: first sweet, fruity and light, after few seconds baking spices getting dominant and bit pungent like ginger. Finish: first sip is short but subsequent sips are longer and longer. Spices first, then something remains that i cannot identify for much longer. Little dryness. Overall well balanced but less deep and rich than the Glenmorangie 14.
