Nantou 2018 SMWS 5 Year Old 138.31 - Higher Power, Bourbon Cask, Cask #138.31, 2018, The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, 55.2%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

86 / 100

Sweetened butter on popcorn is the detail that catches my attention, with pink Himalayan salt providing a delicate counterpoint. The nose goes in a more aromatic direction with sandalwood incense and rosewater, while pink grapefruit skin gives the finish a welcome edge. That balance sounds worth keeping intact rather than adding too much water.
