Yushan Single Malt Bourbon Cask Taiwan Whisky

The Bourbon-Cask Counterpart
Where the Sherry Cask expression leans into dried fruit and spice, the Bourbon Cask bottling is Yushan's bright side: fresh, balanced, and silky. The same Nantou-distilled, Forsyths-pot-still spirit goes into bourbon casks instead, and Taiwan's warm subtropical warehouses work the wood hard — faster maturation, bigger angel's share, and a creamy vanilla-forward profile that belies the whisky's youth. The two single malts side by side make a masterclass in cask influence from a single distillery.

Tasting Notes
The nose is fresh and balanced — vanilla, cream, honey, and flowers. The palate is subtle and silky, with vanilla, caramel, and warming spices. The finish is balanced and lingering: vanilla, rich malt, and bright mandarin.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on the rocks — the silky texture rewards a slow pour. The creamy vanilla profile also makes it an excellent highball whisky.
