Goalong 5 Years Bourbon Cask Whisky

Goalong 5 Years Bourbon Cask Whisky is a Chinese single malt from Goalong Distillery, founded in 2017 by Alan Gao in a canyon basin by the Liuyang River at the foot of Dawei Mountain in Hunan province. It is matured for five years in former American bourbon barrels and bottled at 40% ABV without chill filtration or added colouring.

The nose is inviting, offering honey and sweet malt with floral and woody hints, along with hazelnut. On the palate, this whisky delivers a smooth, medium-bodied texture with vanilla, nectar-like sweetness and fruit. The finish is light and well-rounded, with fruity and vanilla notes. It is an excellent showcase of the new wave of Chinese whisky and provides a unique tasting experience for single malt enthusiasts looking to explore beyond the traditional producing countries.
