The Kavalan Concertmaster Sherry Cask Finish Single Malt Whisky is a noble and multi-faceted bottling from the award-winning Kavalan Distillery in Taiwan. Founded in 2005 by T.T. Lee, the president of the King Car Group, the distillery was established with the aim of producing first-class whisky in Taiwan. The name Kavalan is derived from the Yilan region, which lies south-east of Taipei. This region offers one of the best water sources in Taiwan - fresh, cold spring water flowing through Snow Mountain forms the basis for the exceptional purity and quality of this whisky.
The Kavalan Concertmaster Sherry Cask Finish is part of the distillery's Core Series and is the second bottling in the popular Concertmaster range. It is first matured in selected American oak casks, which lend the whisky a gentle vanilla note. It is then finished in hand-selected Spanish sherry casks, allowing it to develop its deep fruity aromas and spicy nuances. Taiwan's tropical climate accelerates the maturation process and gives this whisky an exceptional intensity and complexity.
With an alcohol content of 40% vol., this single malt is smooth, harmonious and full-bodied at the same time, making it interesting for both beginners and experienced whisky lovers.

The Kavalan Concertmaster Sherry Cask Finish unfolds its full aroma best on its own or with a few drops of water. Thanks to its fruity and spicy aromas, it goes perfectly with dark chocolate, mature cheese or almond cake. It also unfolds its full elegance in combination with fruity desserts, caramelized nuts or Spanish tapas. If you want to enjoy it in cocktails, you can use it in a sherry Manhattan or a whisky sour with a red wine float. (automated translation)
