Tasting Notes
This Nantou 5 Year Old whisky from That Boutique-y Whisky Company is a unique gem from Taiwan. Crafted using peated malt imported from Scotland and matured in ex-bourbon casks, it delivers a captivating symphony of flavors. The aroma entices with ashy smoke, delightfully entwined with sweet notes of apricot yoghurt and vanilla, accompanied by a hint of salty sea spray. On the palate, its oily texture unfolds layers of lemon zest, baked apple, a touch of seaweed, and an earthy smoke that lingers. The finish is a delightful dance of drying spice, coastal elements, and smoky nuances that linger on the taste buds. Despite its Taiwanese origin, this whisky could easily be mistaken for a coastal Islay dram, making it a fascinating exploration of flavors and a testament to the distillery's exceptional craftsmanship.
