SPELLBINDINGLY SUBLIME

PLEASE NOTE SMWS CANADA HAS ASKED ALL STORES TO ENSURE THAT THIS WHISKY IS LIMITED TO 1 BOTTLE PER CUSTOMER, AND IS COORDINATING WITH ALL 4 SHOPS! - If you have not already bought one this whisky is open for sale!

The first release from this Taiwanese distillery for SMWS Canada, it is a no-age-statement whisky in keeping with other releases from this distillery. From a 1st fill STR barrique, it comes in at 58.3%.

Flavour profile:  Spicy & sweet.

Outturn:  181 bottles.

Panel's tasting note:  "The nose is like sinking into a honeypot full of cloves and allspice. Inside there’s also freshly eviscerated vanilla pods, quince jelly, plum wine, pear tarte tatin and many tropical fruit syrups. In time it becomes wonderfully mentholated with resinous herbal notes and hints of red kola and lime leaf. Reduction brings out bubblegum, black tea sweetened with brown sugar, dried mango and hints of ivy and chamomile.

The palate immediately displays peppermint, blackcurrant jam, dark chocolate, dandelion & burdock, old tobacco, sarsaparilla root, clover and medicine balls. Quite sublime. With water there’s jasmine, juniper, pink peppercorns, grape must, old Calvados, many dried flowers, potpourri, incense and lapsang souchong tea. Exquisite and beautiful whisky."
