Frequently asked
Why "Concertmaster"?
The name evokes the leader of an orchestra — reflecting Kavalan's positioning of Port cask finish as a lead performer in their range. Concertmaster is one of Kavalan's most-decorated expressions internationally.
How does Port cask finishing work?
Whisky is first matured in ex-bourbon oak, then transferred ("finished") in casks that previously held Portuguese Port wine. The Port cask imparts its berry and dried fruit character to the whisky in a final maturation phase.
Is this good for Port wine lovers?
Excellent — the Port cask finish delivers a bridge between whisky and Port wine styles. Port drinkers often find this an approachable entry to whisky, and vice versa.
