Country: Taiwan

Region:

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 40%

Score: 87 Points

This whisky carries no age statement, but since it’s from a relatively new distillery, we can assume it’s 3-4 years old. However, it tastes much more mature than its actual age, with an aromatic nose and notes of almonds, toasted oak, apple pie with cinnamon, and nutmeg. The taste is tart and still sweet with orange peel, black tea, a touch of ginger, and a hint of cinnamon. That spice develops more strongly on the finish, which is dry and lingering with a nice cocoa note.
