Kunhai Whisky Earth
Kunhai Whisky Earth is an 80-proof (40% ABV) 700mL blended whisky from Taiwan — the smoky one of the Kunhai trio. The light peat is rooted in a smoky tradition while a touch of fruity spice adds an exotic note, in the brand's own words. A no-age-statement blend of malt and grain whiskies, it channels the island's culinary night markets: incense, spice, and warmth. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Smoke from the Night Markets
Where Sun is golden and Sky is bright, Earth goes dark: light amber in the glass, sandalwood incense, cardamom, and dried hops on the nose, dragon's-blood incense and red currant over caramel on the palate. The peat is light — an accent, not a blast — making this an easy entry into smoky whisky for drinkers who find Islay too much. Explore the Kunhai collection and world whiskies at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Nose of sandalwood incense, cardamom, white flower, and dried hops; palate of incense spice, caramel, and red currant over light peat smoke; a warm, exotic finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat to take in the incense-and-peat interplay; a drop of water softens the smoke. It makes an intriguing Rob Roy for the adventurous.
