Kunhai Whisky Sun
Kunhai Whisky Sun is an 80-proof (40% ABV) 700mL blended whisky from Taiwan — a no-age-statement blend of single malt and grain whiskies built for balance. The Sun expression captures what the brand calls Taiwan's colorful coexistence of light and dark, old and new: peppery spice offset by hints of oak and fruit, with sweet vanilla shining through at the finish. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Taiwan's Golden Hour
Kunhai is one of Taiwan's rising whisky names, riding the wave the island's distillers started — subtropical maturation and bold blending. Sun is the warmest of the trio: golden honey on the nose with white flower and fresh stone fruit, ripe cherries and caramelized banana on the palate, white chocolate truffle through the vanilla-laced finish.

Tasting Notes
Nose of white flower, fresh stone fruits, and subtle white musk over golden honey; palate of ripe cherries, caramelized bananas, and white chocolate truffle; a sweet vanilla finish with peppery spice.
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a splash of water to open the fruit; it mixes into a highball beautifully for a lighter pour.
