Taiwan isn’t the most obvious choice of whisky producing nations, but in recent years a number of Taiwanese distilleries have released whisky, often to much critical praise. One of these distilleries is Nantou. The hot climate in Taiwan contributes to a different, quicker maturation process, as interaction with the oak casks is much higher than in colder whisky producing regions elsewhere in the world. Yushan Signature whisky is a classic example of what Nantou distillery is capable of. Prepare to be surprised.
