Concertmaster, a single malt whisky that stresses the singular character yet does not lose its comprehensive harmony. Using Portuguese ruby, tawny and vintage Port wine casks as the main flavour, combining Kavalan distillery’s Taiwanese whisky features to compose a harmonic symphony. Presenting a natural colours without additives, presenting its original flavour with a port finish that is composed with layers of flavours and fragrances.

The air in Yilan, where Kavalan whisky is distilled, is considered to be pure and fresh in Taiwan. It is the fresh air that gives Kavalan whisky its smooth, creamy and refreshing character. Kavalan Concertmaster single malt whisky is first matured in specially selected American oak casks and then finished in port barriques. Port, a fortified wine, is traditionally made in Douro valley in Portugal. The marrying in the barriques mellows the flavours and adds indefinable smoothness to the whisky. Kavalan Concertmaster single malt whisky was awarded silver medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

An effusive offering of dark fruits: cranberry, blueberry, and black currant. This is a beautiful marriage of the spirit and the port cask finishing, showing applesauce, aged oak, macaroons, and dry aromatic spices. Black currant holds sway on the tongue, yielding to caramel, ground ginger, a second burst of juicy blueberry, with a hot finish evoking strips of dried tropical fruit and flashes of ground pepper. Rewarding and flavorsome.
