That Boutique -Y Nantou 5Y - Batch2 - 52%

From a single cask, distilled in 2016, just 231 bottles have been filled at natural cask strength The Nantou Distillery is a Government owned business (Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corporation). While the Nantou distillery is slightly older than the more well known Kavalan distillery, whisky production didn’t start until 2008. Production techniques are modelled after those utilised in Scotland in the 80s. Malted barley is imported from Scotland and ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks are used for the maturation.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE Sweet vanilla, apricot and ripe apple, alongside chalky grist, salty seaspray, and some sooty peat smoke. You could be forgiven for thinking this was coastal Islay.

PALATE Mouth-coating, oily malt leads the way for a hefty hit of spice. Smouldering embers and earthy ash are lifted by a touch of seaweed and lemon zest. A long ashy finish.
