Kavalan Concertmaster Sherry Cask Single Malt Whisky [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Taiwanese whisky that masterfully balances sherry richness with exceptional smoothness?

As a certified spirits specialist at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store, I’m thrilled to present the Kavalan Concertmaster Sherry Cask Single Malt Whisky, a premium expression that showcases Taiwan’s whisky-making prowess. This single malt is matured exclusively in carefully selected sherry casks, delivering a symphony of flavors that rivals Scotland’s finest. Unlike the more robust Kavalan Oloroso Sherry Oak or the Irish Bushmills Steamship Sherry Cask Reserve, the Concertmaster offers a refined balance that’s approachable yet sophisticated.

• Distillery: Kavalan – Taiwan’s pioneering distillery established in 2005, gaining international acclaim
• Region: Yilan County, Taiwan – subtropical climate accelerates maturation for deeper complexity
• ABV: 40% – perfectly calibrated strength enhances drinkability while preserving character
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Exclusively aged in Spanish sherry casks for rich, fruity depth
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals sultanas, dried figs, and chocolate. Palate delivers smooth caramel, sweet vanilla, and nutty sherry notes. Finish is warm, lingering with gentle spice and oak tannins.
• Best Served: Neat in a tulip glass at room temperature; add a splash of water to unlock hidden aromatics

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor have found this expression particularly versatile for both seasoned collectors and newcomers to sherry-finished whiskies. The tropical aging environment creates a maturity typically requiring decades in cooler climates.

Ideal for: Chinese New Year gifting, milestone celebrations, or expanding your whisky collection with an award-winning Asian distillery. Pairs with: Rich Malaysian cuisine including braised char siu, dark chocolate desserts, or aged cheeses. Recommended for: Sherry cask enthusiasts seeking alternatives to Scotch; consider the Aberlour A’bunadh Alba for a bolder cask strength experience.
