Tasting Notes

Nose

Tropical mango, pineapple, citrus, honey, brown sugar — the subtropical maturation immediately apparent

Palate

Mango, citrus, hazelnuts, nougat, ginger, curry-like spice, heavy wood influence — concentrated and rich for 40%

Finish

Medium — lingering tropical fruit and vanilla oak — Taiwan's climate in the glass

Expert Review

7.5/10

Entry-level from Taiwan's pioneering distillery (est. 2005, King Car Group). Subtropical climate accelerates maturation dramatically. Impressively concentrated for 40% — rich tropical fruitiness far beyond expectations. Multiple international awards that put Taiwanese whisky on the map.
