The Last Call

Kunhai Whisky Earth Taiwanese Whisky Review.      I received this spirit as a review sample from  CNS Wine & Spirits . It is important to clarify this did not impact the ratings of this review.      Kunhai Whiskey is a newer brand hitting shelves is several areas. And I'll be honest, the artwork really caught my eye. I've dabbled in Taiwanese whiskey as I've been able to and I have to give the area credit. They bring some great flavors to the whiskey world. This is the Earth release from Kunhai. Which is one of three bottles. The other two being Sky and Sun, which were both enjoyable pours for me.  Each of the names has a tie to Taiwanese culture. Earth is meant to  mirror the sensations of the colorful, culinary night markets that fill Taiwan’s streets at sundown.

     I received this spirit as a review sample from  CNS Wine & Spirits . It is important to clarify this did not impact the ratings of this review.     Over my whiskey journey, I have only just discovered how great Taiwanese whiskey can be. Honestly, there are some hidden gems that get overlooked constantly from the region. Now, Yushan is one of those brands that I didn't  initially  know until I reviewed their Sherry cask finished single malt. And I was a HUGE fan of that release. A quick rundown, t he Yosan whiskey lineup comes from Taiwan's NAT Distillery, known for their Omar single malt whiskies. And from what I've been told, releases some amazing whiskey. The name "Yosan" is inspired by Taiwan’s highest peak, Mount Jade. This release is their blended malt using both Ex-Bourbon and Sherry casks.

However,  The Yosan whiskey lineup comes from Taiwan's NAT Distillery, known for their Omar single malt whiskies. And from what I've been told, releases some amazing whiskey. The name "Yosan" is inspired by Taiwan’s highest peak, Mount Jade. This specific release is their single malt that has been finished in a sherry cask. Sherry cask for me is always a fun finish. Though, it can be a make or break depending on the type of sherry cask used and the timeframe of finishing.  For the full video review visit the link here:  https://youtu.be/TjeHBk...

I received this spirit as a review sample from  CNS Wine & Spirits . It is important to clarify this did not impact the ratings of this review.      Taiwanese whisky has been quietly building a reputation for producing exceptional spirits, and Yushan is another name helping push that movement forward. The Yushan Taiwanese Single Malt finished in ex-bourbon casks arrives at a respectable 46% ABV and was sent over for review. Transparency matters, so it’s worth noting this bottle was provided as a sample.      This whisky is distilled, aged, and bottled by Nantou Distillery in Taiwan. The name “Yushan” draws inspiration from Mount Jade, the tallest mountain in Taiwan, and the whisky itself reflects a style that feels heavily influenced by traditional Scotch production. With time spent in ex-bourbon barrels, expectations lean toward honeyed sweetness, soft oak influence, and bright fruit character.      Ex-bourbon barrels are one of the...
