Taiwanese Essence
Fearless
Expression
The light peat of this Earth expression is rooted in a smoky tradition, while a touch of fruity spice adds the influence of its urban island home. Each complex sip mirrors sensations of the colorful, culinary night markets that fill Taiwan’s streets at sundown.
EFFORTLESS
& ELEVATED
The expression Sky is so named for the bright, clear air that backdrops the buzzing energy of Taiwan. Satisfying sweetness meets floral notes with subtleties of wood and toffee. A decadent finish completes this warm yet invigorating whisky welcome, like friendly locals on a fast-paced street.
TAIWANESE
STRENGTH
The Sun expression captures Taiwan’s colorful coexistence of light and dark, old and new, energy and ease. Blended for balance, Sun kicks up a peppery spice offset by hints of oak and fruit. Sweet vanilla shines through at the finish for a truly smooth Taiwanese whisky experience
Blended
Perfection
As legend has it, Taiwan is upheld by the head of a sea creature called the Kunhai. Nantou Distillery captures this stirring, mystic spirit in an elevated Taiwanese whisky, adorned with custom labels by a local artist in Taipei.


ABOUT THE DISTILLERY


Located in Nantou County in central Taiwan, Nantou Distillery sits among clear lakes and green mountains. Its name originated from "Ramtau," the Arikun name for the region. Nantou is the only landlocked county in Taiwan and home to many of Taiwan's natural wonders, including Mountain Jade, Sun-Moon Lake, and the source of Zhuoshuixi River.

Nantou Distillery was established in 1978 by the Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corp, the leading liquor company in Taiwan. With 41 mountains with peaks over 3000 meters high, Nantou receives an exceptionally high annual percentage of rainfall as well as shielding from the seasonal steam rising from the southern and eastern Pacific Ocean. Nantou Distillery combines traditional Scottish techniques with the natural characteristics of Taiwan in its whisky craft, resulting in uniquely Taiwanese whisky.
