Formosa 5 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

Formosa Distillery selected Taiwanese malted barley grown in the Daya district, a suburb of Taichung City. A spritz of peel oil, clementine segments, allspice, and walnut, verging on marmalade dusted with white pepper. As a drinking experience, I would recommend this as a gentle aperitif, one that reveals itself unhurriedly: shortbread, coconut macaroons, vanilla, orange notes, and tangy mixed peel with a spicy nish.
