Taiwan's first whisky distillery is located in the north-eastern part of Taiwan in the Yilan area, about an hour's drive from the capital Taipei. The distillery was established in 2005 and built in 9 months on a large flat area between 2 mountain ranges. Since 2008, Taiwanese whisky has been a 'thing'. This single malt whisky utilises Ruby Port, Tawny Port and Vintage Port casks from Portugal to finish whiskies that were initially matured in American oak.
