Kavalan Concertmaster Port Cask Finish Single Malt

smooth and fruity

complex, notably sweet, just a little spice.

Nose - Tropical vanilla, sweet grilled pineapple, fruity red berry syrup sweet, light milk chocolate, cherry/strawberry Twizzlers. Taste - Fairly thin, light oaky bitterness & fruity spice tingle, light bitter oaky vanilla, light red stone fruit sweet, hint of pineapple & banana. Finish - Lingering fruity spice tingle, fades fairly quickly, fruity oak bittersweet, more stone fruit pit bitterness. Score - 62/100 Final Thoughts - I had somewhat high hopes for this one as I've had their cask strength offerings and they were quite good. This one had an amazing nose and then apparently it just stopped there. The flavors were greatly muted and all I got overall was a general watered down bitter malt with a hint of tropical fruit. Quite a disappointment from their other offerings. Would I drink it if offered? - No Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - No

a little rye tasting, a tad spicy. the port makes it very smooth and has a richness to it.
