Yushan Signature Bourbon Cask is distilled at Taiwan's Nantou Distillery in a Scottish Forsyth still and aged - to nobody's surprise, considering the name - in a bourbon cask. Yushan is named after the eponymous mountain, the highest in Taiwan we'll have you know. A sweet and creamy single malt, bottled at 46% without chill filtering.
Floral honey, peaches and cream, vanilla and buttery apple turnover pastry.
Smooth caramel, vanilla pod and lime zest, with a good spicy peppery note.
A burst of tangerine citrus on the finish with a helping of nutmeg.
There is an elegance to this single malt that I really like. For lack of a better term, it's quiet - not in your face. The MoM notes on spice and fruit notes I liked - I'll be keeping this on my bar.
MoM tasting notes are actually pretty accurate. Touch of honey, peaches and I get pastry too. It has a citrus note on the nose and also on the palate which makes it refreshing and easy drinking. It has some lovely spice to it too. It’s a lovely dram.
