Yushan Blended Taiwan Whisky
Yushan Blended Taiwan Whisky is a blended malt whisky bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof) in a 700mL bottle — made from 100% malted barley and blended from select bourbon- and sherry-cask-aged malts at the Nantou Distillery. It brings together the best of both cask styles: toasted grains and fresh orchard fruit up front, honey and caramel through the middle, and a dry, elegant spice finish. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Best of Both Casks
Blended malt means something specific here: 100% malted barley whisky, blended from different cask maturations at the same Nantou Distillery rather than different distilleries. TTL's blenders marry bourbon-cask malts for toffee, vanilla, and exotic fruit with sherry-cask malts for depth and spice — a fruit-forward, full, and viscous dram that showcases Taiwan's subtropical maturation at its most approachable. For drinkers curious about Taiwanese whisky, this is the value entry point into the Yushan range. Explore the Yushan collection and browse international whisky at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
The nose is fresh and balanced: toasted grains, green apple, and pear. The palate is full and viscous — toasted notes, honey, sweet spices, and caramel. The finish is dry and elegant, with warming spices, smooth vanilla, and subtle woody notes.
How to Enjoy
A versatile all-rounder: neat to appreciate the cask marriage, on the rocks for an easy evening pour, or in a highball where the orchard-fruit notes shine.
