Mount Jade's Sherry-Cask Signature
Yushan takes its name from the 3,952-meter peak that towers over the island — and the whisky aims for the same altitude. The Nantou Distillery, owned by the state-rooted Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corporation, sits in central Taiwan's mountainous subtropical climate, where average warehouse temperatures around 20°C accelerate maturation and deepen the angel's share versus colder-climate whiskies. Distilled in Belgian and Scottish copper pot stills, the spirit is blended from select sherry casks to deliver a symphony of spice and dried fruit.

Tasting Notes
Spicy notes of cloves, nutmeg, pepper, and licorice lead, complemented by sweet, fruity undertones of dates, raisins, honey, and vanilla — rich and mature, with the sherry casks driving the complexity.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a tulip glass to catch the full spice-and-dried-fruit arc. A few drops of water open the honey and vanilla underneath the sherry influence.
