Distilled at Nantou, Taiwan's second distillery, opened by the government. This sinlge malt is bottled at 46% after maturing in ex-Bourbon Casks.
The distillery is built between the Bagua mountain range and the tranquil Maoluo river. The Blended Malt and Single Malt Whiskies are sold under the brand Yu Shan, named for the beautiful nearby “Jade Mountain”. The single malts are non-chill filtered, and bottled without added colouring. There is no age statement on the whiskies, but, like Kavalan, the Taiwanese climate rapidly matures spirit, with 7-10% angels share lost each year!
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Fresh and well-balanced – Vanilla, cream, honey, flowers.
Palate: Subtle and silky – Vanilla, caramel, spices.

Think of this as a reduced strength version of the Solist Bourbon. One other key difference, this is bottled not as a single cask, but rather in batches. 46%.
Producer Description: “Kavalan ex-Bourbon Oak dilutes Solist ex-Bourbon with Kavalan spring water to 46% strength. It is incredibly smooth with a soft sweetness, losing the harshness and the alcohol edge and lingering over those unique flavours. It is clean and fresh tropical fruitiness with pleasant vanilla, coconut and spices.”
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Clean with fresh tropical fruitiness and pleasant vanilla, coconut and spices. Imagine being soothed by that comfortable sea breeze with a calming and refreshing effect. This malt can do that for you after a hectic day at the office.
Palate: Soft, well-balanced natural sweetness, vanilla and oak spices, round and complex with silky smoothness.
