Great pour! Yeah Kavalan whiskey it will be on the younger side just like Indian and Texas because of the weather. I love their Concertmaster series. Cheers Jason!
I was lucky enough to try this and I’ve been hunting it ever since. It definitely tastes like its double digits but it’s probably younger seeing as it’s kavalan.
The Kavalan is probably much younger than your guess. Taiwan's climate tends to age whisky a lot quicker than Scotland, Ireland, or Japan, so most of Kavalan's offerings are on the young side by single malt standards. I'd be surprised if the age on that is over 7 or 8 years. If it was double digits, they would probably put it on the label.
You are doing great, Jason! The fact that you said was not an American whiskey is a win in your favor. You were spot on proof. And NAS is unmeasurable. Complete blind guesses are incredibly hard so you nailed this IMO.
And not only are NAS ages unmeasurable, but the entire aging scale is different with a warm-climate whisky like that. You'd have to at least nail that it was a tropically aged malt to even get the right order of magnitude on your guess.
Kavalan is the SLEEPER that most know nothing about. STELLAR JAPANESE SH1T! I just hit 1K subs, brother. You and Scott inspired me to take this leap, and I’m excited to see what happens next. Cheers 🥃💪🏼
Jason's What Would I Pay For That Whiskey Grinchy Coundown To Christmas Advent Calendar Extravaganza Two The Electric Bugaloo! or JWWIPFTWGCTCACETTEB for short. Not like that's a mouthful at all ...
I was completely starting with Irish until you said maybe "Japanese". I thought to myself instantly that the fruit bomb single malt from that part of the world is actually Kavalan. 😺

Like you, I expect a lot more transparency for $120

Grinch's insults seem to be all food related. Maybe he's just hungry.
My first thought was Jefferson’s Ocean Tropics which is aged in Singapour. So I wasn’t far off)))
@WJK scores again!! Way to work the problem though Pork Chop😂
How do you ensure that the people that send you samples don’t send you the same as ones that others have sent you?
@@tonyjandora9674 I can't.
The extras are so great!
Oh. You’re done J. You’re now OFFICIALLY “Pork Chop”. 😂
@ WJK nice curve ball for JC. You are the Master of Whiskey Surprises. 😊
Never heard of that whiskey. Sounds interesting tho.
Day 2 = Penthouse; Day 3 = Outhouse.... LOL!

I kinda warned you 😂
I felt like I did good. In my defense there is no real info on this whiskey. No age, no maturation details. lol
@ very fair point. I figured it would be fun to have something out of the ordinary but there isn’t a lot on the bottle for sure
@@Bill.K.Thank you Bill for all the support you provide Whiskeytube!! You are a Saint and Merry Christmas to you Good Sir!!!
Kavalan makes amazing stuff, definitely a curve ball
