Kavalan Concertmaster Port Cask Finish Single Malt Taiwanese Whisky

Kavalan Concertmaster Port Cask Finish is matured in specially selected American oak casks and finished in Portuguese ruby Port barriques. The double maturation gives a rich-bodied malt with natural sweetness and depth, mellow and indefinably smooth, bottled at 40% ABV. Kavalan Concertmaster Port Cask Finish Tasting Notes Nose: Tropical fruit with honey, vanilla, coconut and candy floss. Palate: Rich-bodied, with natural sweetness and depth. Mellow and beautifully smooth. Finish: Long, with dark tobacco, vanilla cream and pomegranate. Why Choose Kavalan Concertmaster Port Cask Finish? The Port finish is applied with restraint. It adds sweetness and a ruby colour without overwhelming the tropical fruit that defines Kavalan. It was a Category Winner at the 2025 World Whiskies Awards and has won Double Gold (2025) and Gold (2023 to 2024) at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Kavalan recommends pairing it with chocolate. What Makes Kavalan Distillery Unique? Kavalan Distillery is in Yilan, in north-eastern Taiwan. Its whiskies mature in a humid climate, which shapes how the spirit and the cask interact and contributes to the range's tropical fruit character. The distillery has also developed its own S.T.R. technique (shave, toast, rechar) to refresh wine casks, and its single malts have earned consistent recognition at international competitions.
