Nantou 5 Year Old That Boutique-y Whisky Company | 500ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Fruity notes of grilled plums and apricots join, sweet, earthy peat smoke, oily malt, salted tablet, and a touch of smoked meat.
Palate: Vanilla cream and burnt caramel balance a touch of bitter oak and vibrant peat smoke, with waves of oily barley. Charred herbs and barbecued fruits develop in time, with burnt biscuits in tow.
Finish: Sweet and smoky, with waves of toffee, caramelised sugar, grilled pineapple, a flash of red chilli, and oak char.
Distillery Information
Situated in Nantou Hsien, Taiwan, Nantou Distillery was founded by the Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corporation, a Taiwan State-owned manufacturer of tobacco and alcohol, in 1978. However, it wasn’t until 2008 that it produced its first whisky. Before 2010, the mash, wort and wash were made in a nearby brewery which Nantou stopped using when it installed its own German mash tun and washbacks (with a 15,000 litres capacity) in the distillery. The fermentation run typically lasts around 60 to 72 hours, before the spirit is transferred into the appropriate pot stills.
