Taiwan's Twelve-Year Statement
Single malt means one distillery, one malted grain — and Formosa's twelve-year-old is Taiwan's answer to the great age-stated malts of Scotland and Japan: small-batch, oak-matured in a subtropical climate that coaxes extraordinary complexity from the cask. Fragrant dried mango, vanilla bean, and toasted almond on the nose; tropical fruit, dark chocolate, and spiced oak on the palate. Explore Formosa Distillery and our international whisky shelf.
Tasting Notes
Nose: fragrant — dried mango, honeycomb, vanilla bean, toasted almonds. Palate: rich and layered — tropical fruit, dark chocolate, spiced oak, hints of black tea. Finish: long, warming, smooth, with sweet malt and lingering spice.
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a splash of water to unlock the tropical character — a sophisticated sipper for the adventurous whisky lover.
